The journey begins in the province of María Trinidad Sánchez, specifically in its municipality of Nagua. If you head there from the Juan Pablo Duarte highway, you will be able to admire a row of coconut trees that stretches along the entire beachfront. It's truly a unique and impressive landscape.

Activities day 1 - Cabrera

Dudú Lagoon
@Jivanny
Visiting these cenotes is truly an amazing experience. The main lagoon is connected to two more freshwater lagoons through tunnels, making them ideal for diving. For adventure enthusiasts, there's also the option to zip-line from the main lagoon, although swimming skills are recommended due to its depth. If you prefer a more tranquil experience, you can enjoy the other lagoons, such as the Pozo de los Caballos. In addition to the lagoons, you'll also have the opportunity to explore caves where you can admire stalactite and stalagmite formations sculpted by water over time. It's important to note that there is an entrance fee of RD$200.00 (approximately USD$4.00) and its open everyday from 09:00am to 05:00pm.
