El Limón Waterfall in Paraíso (Los Pinos Sector)

El Limón Waterfall in the Los Pinos sector of Paraíso: a natural plunge of cold, crystal-clear water surrounded by dense jungle. Access is via a moderate trail winding through trees and rocks; perfect for a dip in the deep swimming hole and chilling in a peaceful setting. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring water and bug spray. A local guide is recommended for a safe trek. Experience the unspoiled nature of the Dominican South without the crowds. Ideal for light adventure and mountain photo ops.

It originates in Loma El Limón, where the river of the same name drops in free fall amid coffee plantations and cloud forest. Locals from Los Pinos protect it as their water source and green lung; the trail was hand-cut with machetes so visitors can feel the freshness without harming the watershed.
