27 Charcos of Damajagua
In Puerto Plata, the 27 Charcos of Damajagua waterfalls is an excursion for adventure-lovers. It
involves a trek through forests, up hills, then down waterfalls into refreshingly turquoise pools.
Most people attempt only 7 falls, as getting to the 27th require exceptional physical fitness.
But, armed with helmets and safety gear, and in the company of a trained guide, you can
thoroughly enjoy jumping and sliding down the series of 7 waterfalls. But, if you are the over-
zealous adventurer and can withstand the rigour of a hike that requires great dexterity, plow
through. The beauty of what awaits will be your reward.
