4. Samana VIP with Lemon Waterfall
On the territory of the Dominican Republic, due to the mountainous terrain, there are many waterfalls. But the most popular for a very long time remains El Limon or “Millionaires’ Waterfall”, located on the Samana Peninsula.
- The Arroyo Chico stream falls off a cliff to create the El Limon waterfall. More specifically, the Limon River rises from the natural lake beneath the waterfall.
- From the towns of Las Terrenas or Santa Barbara de Samana, travel along the Bulevar Turistico del Atlantico highway to the waterfall.
- The waterfall was originally known as “Admiral’s Waterfall” (La Fuente de El Almirante), but due to the construction of a tourist route from the community of El Limon, it was decided to change its name to be the same as the community.
- Since 1996, the park that encircles El Limon has been a protected natural area. It covers 18 km2.
- Depending on the season, the waterfall and the lake below it contain varying amounts of water. You may typically see the most stunning, fully-flowing stream around December.
This is a rare chance to take a trip that includes stops at numerous wonderful destinations simultaneously! Cayo Levantado on Bacardi Island A wonderful chance to swim and explore the island; snap lots of vivid pictures!
