Cascading
For a real blast try cascading at The Damajagua Falls, just 40 minutes from Cabarete. A cascading course of 27 waterfalls, going up and down and through waterfalls by walking, sliding, swimming, and making jumps of up to 25 feet [8 meters] into pools at the base of cascades.
Hike through the jungle with no equipment, only common sense. This can be hard work for some and not recommend for younger persons. Bring comfortable walking shoes and plenty of drinking water.
Once at the falls, swimming is required. Visitors plunge through a total of six falls, navigating narrow passages darkened by water-smoothed canyon walls. Guides along the way offer hints and helping hands for the climb. Returning to home base is the real fun; what were slippery channels on the way up are natural waterslides on the way down. Truly impressive and brings the promise of travel memories that will last a lifetime.
