Baiguate Waterfall — Attraction in La Hispaniola

Parking is available at the end of the road, and getting to the falls entails walking along a flat approximately 1/2 km paved walk and then you descend a set of 83 steps to the base and then do the reverse to return. It is not the gruelling hike some would have you believe. The falls themselves are beautiful, dropping 80 feet into a small basin, which is mostly ankle deep and sandy until right near the fall where it gets deeper. The water itself was pleasantly cool in the heat of the day and you are allowed go in. There are also a couple of "showers" at the left on the opposite sandbank and a rocky area facing the falls. Bring water shoes, swimming gear, towel and water. There are restrooms at the parking area but nothing...

Only one word; Awesome!! I’m not sure if this is a hidden gem or just happened when we arrived, but we were the only family there. I was expecting like most tourists spot to be packed. We arrived on a Wednesday around 4pm and left just before closing. There is a $50RP charge. You pay the park attendant. Do use Caution * the trail to the fall is very gradual for the first 3/4th. Last 1/4, it does get very steep with steps sweeping back and forth down the hill side. Total distance of the trail if I had to guess is...

A easily accessible and super pretty waterfall, we were lucky to come on a day with very little people. Also it was not too rough and you were able to swim all the way under the waterfall. Great signage, well maintained walking path, do expect about 100 meters of steps down and on rainy days it can be slippery so best to have good footwear in order to have grip.

Thanks to the Tourism Office of the Dominican Republic for creating such a nice way to this...
