What You Will Do
Looking for things to do in Santo Domingo? This hike/rappel trip is for you. Adventure and adrenaline
Difficulty level: HIGH. You have to be decently in shape. Rappel and swimming are mandatory (no experience required/don't need to know how to swim).
We meet at 6am and take a 2-hour road trip to get to the town, have a dominican breakfast and meet the rappel experts.
Then we stretch out, and begin the journey going uphill and then downhill towards the stream. We hike upstream to see La Culebra waterfall, and do a light rappel to practice; and then downstream to Tabernacle Thundering Waterfall (yes, my other experience). You can do a guided or free rappel down this 25-meter waterfall, this is the highlight of the experience. Then we hike downstream through some swimming wholes, jumps and slides until the end.
Then we change clothes (there's no dressing room. We don't get wet to the car).
Finally, we go back to have lunch, and get back to Santo Domingo happy at 5pm
