El Salto del Macorís Waterfall

El Salto del Macorís, in Las Guáranas, Duarte province, is a natural waterfall that plunges into a crystal-clear pool perfect for a refreshing dip. Surrounded by typical Cibao vegetation, you reach it via a short trail winding through cacao and guama (ice cream bean) trees. The water springs from Loma Quita Espuela and stays cool year-round. It's a go-to spot for locals on weekends and visitors looking to escape the city heat without straying far from San Francisco de Macorís. Bring water, sunscreen, and a willingness to soak up authentic Dominican nature.

Born in Loma El Macorís, the green heart of Las Guáranas. The Macorís River flows down from the Cordillera Septentrional and drops in free fall, creating this natural cascade. Set amid coffee and cacao groves, the pristine water has long been a refuge for families and travelers seeking mountain freshness and the peace of the Dominican countryside.
