Hiking, Swimming and Cliff Jumping at the Damajaqua Cascades (27 Waterfalls)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Located just west of Puerto Plata along the Damajaqua River, the Damajaqua Cascades (also known as the 27 waterfalls) are a national monument and one of the most thrilling experiences in Puerto Plata. Only about a 30-minute drive from the BlueBay Villas Dorados hotel, it\u2019s best to head here first, arriving early before the crowds arrive.<\/p>\n First, decide how many of the 27 waterfalls you wish to see, on which your entrance fee will be based. Most travelers opt to explore 12 of the 27 waterfalls. Included in the price of admission are a helmet, life jacket and guide.<\/p>\n After a hike of about 25 minutes to reach the cascades, head back down by sliding down or jumping off of a series of waterfalls! For many of our guests, this adventure is a trip highlight.<\/p>\n Grab lunch in Cabarete <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Head over to Cabarete and grab lunch at one of the many beachside casual restaurants.

Wander down the beach and head into one of the many delicious beachfront restaurants for a bite to eat. Take a Kitesurfing Lesson in Puerto Plata<\/span> After lunch, get ready for more adventure!
