History

The falls originate in Loma de Cabrera, deep in the Sierra de Neiba. Cold waters wind down forested ravines, carving out natural pools along the way. For generations, local farmers from Las Matas have come here to cool off after a day in the fields and to draw life for their *conucos* (traditional small farms).
