History

It springs from Loma El Limón, deep in the Sierra de Bahoruco. Crystal water flowing down through coffee groves and cloud forest, giving life to La Cuchilla. The community treats it like their lungs and livelihood: they guide visitors, sell coconuts, and maintain the trail. A living corner where ecotourism puts food on the table for Paraíso families.
