Explore Los Tres Ojos’ partially open dripstone caves and ride an underground river to a hidden cavern, then contrast raw geology with the calm paths of Santo Domingo’s botanical garden and its Japanese Zen plot. This five-hour nature tour blends easy cave walking, a short boat ride, and botanical quiet.
