Looking for things to do in Santo Domingo? You can't miss this hike in Dominican Republic. Let´s get to know the dominican countryside and the coolest hike in DR: El Tabernáculo.
LGBTQ+ friendly experience, vegetarian accomodating
We first take a 2-hour road trip full of breathtaking sights to get to Los Cacaos, to have a dominican breakfast.
Then, we begin our journey to El Tabernáculo. It's a 3-hour route within hiking, swimming, climbing, etc. It's a route full of adrenaline and adventure. Swimming is mandatory, but you don't need to know how to swim with the life vest. The difficulty of this route is considered medium, it's a strenuous experience. It's not easy, completely doable, though. You must not have any injuries. You don't need to be an athlete, though.
After the hike, we change clothes (there's no restroom, we use the vehicle and nature) and go back to the town to have a dominican lunch.
Then we come back happy to Santo Domingo at around 4pm.
