Salto de Aguas Blancas
The Salto Aguas Blancas Waterfall in La Vega is the tallest waterfall in the Antilles, despite being separated into three portions that cascade down a vertical cliff to terminate at a picturesque pond. These cascades are located within Valle Nuevo National Park on the Aguas Blancas stream, a branch of the Grande del Medio River. It's one of the Dominican Republic's highest altitude waterfalls, at roughly 1,680 meters above sea level. The plant life is radically different, and temperatures can drop considerably at night (even below zero degrees in the winter). Be cautious! Only the courageous should attempt to jump into this waterfall! Salto de Aguas Blancas is an ideal stopover for those visiting the Cordillera Central from Jarabacoa or Constanza.
The Salto de Aguas Blancas is located around 20 kilometers from Constanza, in the direction of Valle Nuevo and the pyramid. There are several road markers to help you locate it. However, we recommend driving to this waterfall because the road is merely a dirt road with numerous rocks and potholes to manage. The journey to these beautiful waterfalls is lovely yet difficult, therefore an off-road vehicle is required. If you do not own a car, you may hire this service directly from the hotels in the neighborhood.
