It is a beautiful place. If you visit Jarabacoa, which is a must visit city in Dominican Republic you can go to enjoy the the calm and beauty of their forest. It was wonderful to me, I was able ven to enjoy of the rain that was raining and washed myself under it. Not advised if you want to visit only, just include it in your plans along with other visits.
Certainly worthwhile this walk and view! Take a detour to this place (and some water). Small fee to enter.
I like everything about this place. El Salto is fantastic, just wonderful. An excellente for a nature lover.
The trek to the waterfall was fun. Suspension bridges helped out a lot. You pass by an electrical power plant that was interesting. 150 pesos each for entry.
This was a day excursion away from Santo Domingo. The trip included a nice long scenic bus ride to Jarabaco. We opted to pay a driver to take us to two waterfalls...one of them being Salto de Jimenoa. It had suspension bridge that swayed like crazy. It was a bit of a hike for sure. But I thought the lay of the land was beautiful and the water was nice and cool. When we went it was a very picturesque and lovely day.
Great views in your walk along the river with lots of foot bridges to cross. Not a bad walk/hike and well worth it. One of the natural wonders of the Dominican Republic. A nice way to spend a couple of hours.BObK
This place is beautiful, for those who love nature. It is a small hicking around the a river. They have a designated swimming area.Fun!
Nice experience walking the bridges to Salto de Jimenoa, be careful some of the railings are not safe at all.
The waterfall isn't that impressive and you can't swim near the area where the waterfall is. You can only swim more down river and only when there is enough water. In our case, the water was pretty low.Don't use a travel guide, overcharging for something you can definitely do yourself. We did go there on hirseback, which was nice but it takes very long and the horse chairs aren't that comfy so your behind may be sore a few hours later!
We went to both Saltos and both were Beautiful!! Salto de Jimenoa II is easier to reach than Santo de Jimenoa I. I recommend that in Salto de Jimenoa I you get a guide guy if you want to swim since on the way there are short cuts for this. We did not do it, but i am coming back in the summer and i will get to the river.
