Los Tres Ojos and Santo Domingo Highlights

4 hoursFrom $55★ 4.8 (187)

Overview

Descend into Los Tres Ojos National Park, a chain of open-air limestone caves with crystal-clear lagoons, and cross the hidden fourth lake by a small raft. Then visit the Faro a Colón and finish with a short walk through the Colonial Zone.

Caves, lagoons and the east bank

The east bank of the Ozama is often skipped, yet it holds Los Tres Ojos' cave lagoons and the massive Faro a Colón. This short tour covers both with the context of the Taíno people and the city's growth eastward.

Who this tour suits

Nature lovers, families and travellers who want a cooler midday activity — the caves stay shaded.

Good to know

Wear shoes with grip. Los Tres Ojos is on the road to SDQ, so this tour is easy to fit before an evening flight with an airport transfer.
