El Salto del Pescado Waterfall

Discover El Salto del Pescado in Estebanía, a hidden gem tucked into the greenery of Loma de la Canela. The Nizao River plunges into a deep, crystal-clear swimming hole — perfect for a refreshing dip after the hike. Framed by boulders and natural shade, it's the ideal spot to unplug from the noise and reconnect with raw nature. Bring water, snacks, and pack out your trash to keep it pristine. An authentic slice of adventure for those chasing quiet thrills in the heart of Azua.

Fed by the Yaque del Sur River up in Loma de Cabrera, this waterfall forms a natural rock pool that locals have used for generations to cool off and fish. The name comes from the fish leaping upstream. It's Estebanía's fresh-air lung, a Sunday family hangout, and a mandatory stop for anyone heading up into the mountains.
