27 Charcos de Damajagua - 27 waterfalls puerto plata - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Tips For Visiting the 27 Charcos de Damajagua in the Dominican Republic

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker eager to tackle the exhilarating cliff jumps or simply looking to immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of these cascading waterfalls, this guide has got you covered. So let’s dive in and discover all the incredible experiences awaiting you at the 27 Charcos de Damajagua!

What are the Charcos de Damajagua

The Charcos de Damajagua (the Damajagua waterfalls) are a series of 27 small  pools, each of them cascading onto the next one. Do not expect waterfalls with huge drops. However expect to have an amazing time in one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been to. They’re famous for their crystal-clear waters and stunning surroundings, making them a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

History of the Charcos de Damajagua

The history of the Charcos de Demajagua dates back to the colonial era when the indigenous Taíno people inhabited the island. These pools were believed to be sacred by the Taíno, who used them for spiritual ceremonies and rituals.

During the Spanish colonial period, the area around the Charcos de Demajagua was part of a sugarcane plantation. Enslaved Africans brought to the island to work on the plantations also used the pools as a place of refuge and resistance against their oppressors.

How to Get to the 27 Charcos de Damajagua

To visit the Charcos de Demajagua in the Dominican Republic, you can join a guided tour or go on your own. If you’re taking a tour, look for one that includes transportation to and from the site. You can also rent a car or take a taxi if you prefer to go independently. 

When choosing a tour, make sure it includes a knowledgeable guide who can provide information about the area and ensure your safety during the visit. It’s also a good idea to check if the tour includes any additional activities, such as hiking or swimming in the natural pools.

Different Types of Tours

When looking at tours to visit the Damajagua Waterfalls you will find tours geared to cruises  stopping in Puerto Plata’s Amber Cove. It is often more affordable to book your own tour rather than booking it through the cruise so there are some of the best options for tours picking you up at the port.

Tours leaving from Puerto Plata will usually pick you up at your hotel in Puerto Plata. You can find the best tours to the Damajagua Waterfalls from Puerto Plata below, just click on the Viator tour you prefer to book it.

What to Expect at the Charcos de Damajagua

If you are not traveling with a tour you can book a tour and a guide once you get there. You’ll start buy trekking through dense tropical forests, cross sturdy footbridges, and pass by abundant plant life until you reach a rocky hilltop.

You can choose to go down 7, 12, 19 or 27 cascades. We chose 12 and wish we had done the 27 but my husband had an injured foot so 12 was the right choice for us.  For the 12 cascades we walked for about 30-40 minutes at a slow pace and the guide said that for the 27 you have to hike about 45 minutes more.

Once you get to the river the adventure begins as you descend by sliding or jumping down a series of waterfalls. With helmets and safety gear on, you’ll glide down smooth water chutes, leap into deep turquoise pools and swimming and wade along the small river gorge. The guides help you through and tell you exactly what to do.

The highest jump is about 24ft high and you have the option to slide down, jump or both and it was so exciting. I was having a hard time jumping so the guide jumped with me. You also have the option to go around any cascade if you do not want to slide down or jump, there are steps down for people who don’t want that much excitement.

Check out my short video to get a better idea of what to expect when visiting the Charcos de Demajagua: 

Charcos de Damajagua Prices

Here are the prices according to the route and jumps you wish to make. The prices include a life jacket, helmet, and the service of a trained guide for this occasion, which you shouldn’t miss.

• 7 jumps cost $25 USD (500 pesos)
• 12 jumps cost $30 USD (550 pesos)
• 27 jumps cost $40 USD (700 pesos)

Charcos de Damajagua Schedule

The park is open every day of the week from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Tips When Visiting The Damajagua Waterfalls:

• Reservations: It’s advisable to make reservations in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. This will help secure your spot and prevent any disappointment upon arrival.\
• Get there early: Get to the Charcos de Damajagua early so that you can enjoy it better and to avoid the crowds.
• What to wear: Bring a swimsuit and a towel as well as dry clothes to change into when you are done. I wore shorts because I did not want my new swimsuit to get damaged since we would be sliding down rocks, smooth rocks but still they can be rough on your swimsuit.

• Protect yourself: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen and bug spray. You will not be able to carry much except maybe a water bottle and your GoPro during the hike since you are swimming, sliding and jumping into the water on your way back.

• Bring the right footwear: Bring shoes with good grip that you do not mind getting wet as you will be walking through the river and the falls and there are lots of rocks. You can rent water shoes.
• Take your GoPro: If you do have your own GoPro give your guide some extra money and ask him to take all the photos and video as he knows what the best spots are and how to take the videos.
• You can rent a camera there: If you did not bring your own GoPro you can rent one there as well. They are not cheap and renting the camera along with a photographercan add up.
• Not for small children: I would not recommend this for small children and if you are doing 12 or more you should be in an ok physical condition as the hike up is a bit of work.
• Restaurant on site: There is a restaurant with a buffet, the food was ok and it was a good option as we where starving when we got back but if you have time eat elsewhere as the food is very basic (rice, beans, hot dogs and roasted chicken).

This was an exciting and fun activity with truly breathtaking views. I feel that the photos and video I took does not do this place justice. If you will be in the Puerto Plata region in Dominican Republic the Charcos de Damajagua are a must!

Are you brave enough to jump down 27 waterfalls in the Dominican Republic?

Aug 11, 2018 • 2 min read

Jumping down a waterfall is a common enough experience, one that can happen in every corner of the world. Jumping down twenty-seven of them, though, only happens in the Dominican Republic .

The Rio Damajagua is a river found in the northern side of the island, close to the city of Puerto Plata , and it forms twenty-seven natural waterfalls known as charcos . And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can step out of the luxurious resorts the country is more generally known for and jump, slide and dive down them thanks to a new tour.

Accompanied by local guides, you can climb up through tropical plants and birds to the top of the peak in the Northern Corridor mountain range where you’ll find the very first waterfall, known as “The Virgin,” because supposedly there used to be a statue there of Our Lady of La Altagracia, who’s the patron of the Dominican Republic. The statue disappeared with time, but the name remained. From the Virgin, you can begin your descent equipped with helmets, life jackets, and nice sturdy shoes to protect your feet from the limestone rocks.

Other waterfalls and pools you’ll encounter include “The T.O.Y.S.,” known for taking away divers’ swimsuits on impact (so you'd better lace it up tight!); “The Crystal,” that gets its name from the unbelievable colour of the water; “The Jaiba,” populated with freshwater crabs; and “The Last One” of the twenty-seven waterfalls, which has a 30ft (9 metre) dive.

The waterfalls were “discovered” by tourists in the 1990s, and are only now starting to become popular. In many ways, they are still “the best-kept secret of the Dominican Republic,” as it reads on the official website. You can reach them not only from Puerto Plata but also from Cabarete and Sosua , either on your own or with organized tours.

You can choose to do only seven waterfalls, which takes about three hours, twelve or all twenty-seven, which clocks the whole experience at around five hours. Price range from US$10 to $14 (RD$500 to RD$700 Dominican pesos), part of which goes to local communities.

You can find out more about the 27 charcos on the official website here .

Company details, more about 27 charcos de damajagua.

Puerto Plata’s crown jewel attraction, the 27 Charcos of Damajagua waterfalls offer a day of hiking through thick forest, crossing footbridges and passing numerous flora before eventually reaching a rocky hilltop where you’ll begin making your way down by jumping or sliding down a series of waterfalls–helmets and safety gear on–as you slide down water-cushioned chutes or jump into deep turquoise pools. Most excursions take you only through seven falls, as reaching the 27th is reserved for the most active and physically fit adventurers. Run by local guides who live within the community, the park entrance fees benefit all of its residents, making it a win for all. The park is located approximately an hour from Puerto Plata city. Make it through the 27 Charcos de Damajagua and you can face any other adventure in the DR!

• O6714VVericas 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Peace of Mind This review is long overdue. I thought I had already posted it. Edwards service was exceptional. I used his service several times during my trip. Him and his staff was professional. The vehicles were nice and extremely comfortable. The seem-less pickup at the Airport and our Private tours is a plus for me and my family. As well as our driver speaking English. The communication between myself and the drivers was effortless. It allowed my family and I to relax and enjoy our vacation with a Peace of Mind. Edward also gave recommendations on the island. I would recommend his service to all my friends and family visiting the DR. Read more Written April 29, 2024
• Tourist22651927189 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Highly recommend! Best drivers! Our Air bnb host recommended that we hire a driver for a our family of 10 for the week. We are so glad we did! Eduar, Javier, Juan Carlos, Jose were patiened and caring drivers. Also early and on time, catered to every place we had to go, even last minute stops. The vans were clean, spacious, comfortable with great ac and fit all ten of us fine. Excellent communication via what's app and Edwuar spoken English way better than our horrible Spanish. He also gave us ideas on adventures and hooked us up with ATV/buggy rides in the sugar cane fields and beach. Because of him and his drivers, we didn't have to worry about renting cars or trying to drive in a new country. 100% worth it and would do again! Thank you! Read more Written January 21, 2024

• S5689ZGering 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Outstanding Customer Service! Edward provided much more than transportation! He was an excellent host on this beautiful island. Edward provided myself with transportation from Puerto Plata airport to my accommodations in Cabarete, but also from my accommodations to Santo Domingo airport upon my departure. He provided me with local places to dine and shop. Offered to help me get to any location on the island during my stay whether it was to dining or excursions. He brought me to a market along the way so that I could pick up a few essentials for my stay. On the 3hr drive to SDQ he provided me with information about the island and the areas we were passing through. As my Spanish is very limited, it was also an added bonus that he speaks fluent English as well. His services were timely and safe. I would absolutely use Edward and his services on my next trip to Puerto Plata! Read more Written August 26, 2023
