Navigate a series of emerald pools and low cliffs on the Damajagua 27 Waterfalls tour — a hands-on canyoning day trip from Sosua or Cabarete. Expect river-sculpted drops, guided jumps, and a local lunch after three hours of active exploration.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan and the air changes — cooler, mineral-scented, threaded with the chatter of distant cascades. The path drops quickly into a ravine where water carves a chain of plunge pools and short drops; helmets and life jackets signal that this is a canyon you move through, not just look at.

The falls lie in an area shaped by volcanic flows and river incision; local communities around Puerto Plata and Sosua have long used the river for milling and recreation.
Conservation
Visitors are asked not to use soap or sunscreen in pools, to carry out trash, and to respect guide instructions — entrance fees support local conservation and livelihoods.
