This tour puts two of the best days in one. First you climb and swim the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua. Then you tour the colonial centre of Puerto Plata. Damajagua is the adventure. The city is the calm afterwards.The morning starts with a short jungle hike. You reach the top in about thirty minutes. Then you slide and jump your way back down through limestone pools. Guides carry the safety gear.
