One the best part of Dominican Republic are the waterfalls. One of my favorites is the Salto
Socoa is a beauty of what you can image by the small waterfall surrounded by pristine
nature will exceed your expectations. The landscape is dotted with many small natural pools,
which makes it easy for you to find your favorite spot to relax with the sound of the
splashing water. The most relaxing place to take a nap with the sound of the waterfalls
around you.
