Located inside Cotubanamá National Park, this two-kilometer (1.2-mile) long trail leads through a lush rainforest, in an area once inhabited by Taino Indians. You’ll discover a plethora of Dominican flora and fauna along this route, including a couple of underground caves filled with striking blue fresh water springs.
