History

Born from the Dajabón River up in the sierra, this cascade forms where the current has carved through limestone, hollowing out a natural cave right behind the water veil. For generations, campesinos from Loma de Cabrera have used it as their swimming hole and Sunday family hangout. The name says it all: the waterfall that emerges from the cave. Community tourism looks after it now, keeping its backyard Cibaeño soul intact.
