Embrace the Elements: A Rainy Day Adventure in Miches

As Earth Day weekend dawns upon Miches, the weather seems to have its own plans, with a mix of partly cloudy skies and rain. But don’t let that dampen your spirits! The lush landscapes of Miches are calling, and there’s no better way to start your adventure than with a Waterfall Hike through the Dominican Forest to the majestic La Jalda Waterfall. Starting early in the morning, this private tour takes you on a 14-kilometer trek through cacao, coconut, and coffee forests, offering a unique glimpse into the region’s natural beauty.

The trail, shaded by a large cacao forest, is a haven for nature lovers. As you cross rivers and navigate the soggy, muddy paths, you’ll be rewarded with the sight of the Caribbean’s tallest waterfall, Salto de La Jalda. Take a moment to swim in the natural lagoon or capture the breathtaking views with your camera. One reviewer noted,

“This tour was truly incredible, easily the best part of our trip to the DR! We were picked up at our Airbnb in Punta Cana by Angelo, drove two hours to just outside of Miches where we had a delicious breakfast at a little restaurant. Angelo supplied us with water and snacks for the trip. Then two amazing local guides and two rockstar mules took us on this amazing journey through Salto De La Jalda National Park. We didn’t speak Spanish and they didn’t speak English but we figured out how to communicate and had a blast! Our guides, two high-spirited young men, showed us how to eat cacao pods which were so tasty! We took lots of Polaroids and selfies and ate lots of snacks together. We crossed the river many times and climbed up the sides of ravines. When we got to the waterfall we swam in the pool there. It was beautiful! We had a delicious lunch at the same little spot when we returned. Best chicken I’ve ever had! The hike/ journey is a challenge for sure, it’s humid and hot, you will get wet crossing the river, and the trail does incline. But trust me, if you can do it, it’s 100% worth it! One of the most unique and memorable experiences I’ve ever had.” (Reviewed on 2023-08-17)

The guides were so friendly and took great care of both the riders and the horses. This tour is perfect for both experienced riders and beginners alike.
