18. 27 WATERFALLS –
SPRING BREAK
Where: 27 Waterfalls is a group of waterfalls in the north-central
part of the Dominican Republic, not far outside of Santiago. This
excursion is roughly a 3.5-4 hour event. You arrive at the foot of a
series of hills and then go on a vigorous 1.5-2 hour hike up a
series of large hills to get to the top. Then, you slide, jump, and
swim your way down the waterfalls—all 27 of them! This is
followed by a buffet-style lunch.
Family or Not? This is probably not a family friendly trip. First,
the car ride in itself is fairly arduous. Second, the actual event
itself requires a fair amount of stamina and fortitude: an extended
hike up a mountain/large hill, and then jumping off of various
waterfalls and lots of swimming around.

19. There are nearby hotels in Caberete (on the northern
coast) or south in Santiago.
Hotels range from 8$ a person (an
extremely, extremely, rustic hostel) to 30-60+$ a night
for a ―real‖ hotel in Caberete or Santiago.
Accommodations:

ups.
