Salto del Limon

If you’re traveling to Samana,  don’t forget to take an excursion to Salto del Limon, a cascade of about  40 m. high that culminates in a pool of fresh and crystal clear water where you can give you a totally relaxing bath.The Salto del Limon is about 300 m. sea level and its route can be done either on foot or riding a horse or mule on a trip of between one and two hours through a dense tropical rain forest. Usually to reach  the Salto del Limon is used a path called “The Café,” a track with plenty of stops where you can buy typical Dominican food and drinks as well as local products such as coffee, cocoa, grapefruit, coconuts and handicrafts.The landscape around the Limon is precious, with small houses painted in bright colors and hand-made of wood that normally line up the streets and countryside.The waterfall originates at the point where the waters of Arroyo Chico descend to lead the Limon River. The area occupied by this protected area is 18 square kilometers.The Salto del Limon can be reached by road from Samana-El Limon-Las Terrenas. From Santo Domingo can be reached by taking the Duarte highway, passing
through Nagua reaching Samana. From there you take the road to El Limon.
