This breathtaking waterfall, reputedly the largest in the Greater Antilles, is a scenic but rough 16km drive from Constanza (you need a 4WD). The falls – actually one cascade in three different sections – crash some 135m down a sheer cliff into a pool of clear blue and extremely cold water. Because you don't get a full view until close up after a walk through a tight canopy of jungle, the approach feels especially dramatic.
Turn north at the Isla gas station and continue past Colonia Japonésa. If you haven’t got your own vehicle, many hotels can take you there for around RD$2500 (up to five people). The way through the mountains passes by a couple of extremely poor communities of Haitian and Dominican farm workers.
