Rafting

There aren’t many places to experience real river rafting in the Caribbean. But in the Dominican Republic, our high altitude mountain towns are blessed with fresh water rivers flowing down with sufficient force from high summits. A river rafting excursion along the Yaque del Norte—the longest river in the Caribbean—departing from Jarabacoa, is an unforgettable experience to be added to your bucket list of adventures around the country.

While available year round, rafting is best done during the summer months, when the water levels are sufficiently high for an authentic experience.

Tucked in the heart of Puerto Plata’s verdant plains and completely off the beaten track, this series of three waterfalls, El Charco de los Militares, empty into deep azure pools that are also affectionately called ‘God’s pool.’ Reaching here is part of the adventure–you’ll hike for an hour along part flat and part hilly pasturelands. A final makeshift cable-assisted climb up a short series of rocks leads you to the Charcos de Los Militares, where you’ll likely be the only ones there enjoying these natural rivers fed pools. Guided hikes to these magical falls leave from Tubagua Eco Lodge. Meet you there? 😍 📸: @ig_castb
