El Limon

Travel Guide

This fertile region is best known for its natural and agricultural attractions, including forest, farming villages and waterfalls.

El Limon municipality is a rich farming area just north of Samana, on the Atlantic side of the peninsula. Come to buy special Dominican goods handmade or grown on local farms, such as paprika and cigars. Explore the region on foot or on horseback. Photograph local villages and cool off in El Limon Waterfalls.

El Limon’s farms are served by the Arroyo Chico river. Frequent rainfall means the soil here is incredibly fertile, and many different types of crops and native plants grow in the region.

In El Limon township, speak to friendly locals about their home-grown produce. Vendors and farmers are happy to sell their fresh fruit and vegetables. Hire a local guide to help you translate and take you to the best cigar makers in the region.

The main attraction of El Limon is its natural scenery and El Limon Waterfalls. Start your trip at the local horse ranch where the trail to the falls begins. From here you can make a guided trip on horseback or an unguided trip on foot up the muddy and challenging path. If you intend on walking, be sure to bring comfortable hiking shoes with good grip.

Discover the region’s native plant species, including the endangered royal palm. Photograph the rugged mountain landscape and smell the exotic flowers that line the path to the falls.

At El Limon Waterfalls admire the cascading water and go swimming in the shallow pool below. Hungry travelers can buy snacks from local vendors or a meal at the waterfall station canteen.

Get to El Limon by rental car from Samana. The 30-minute drive offers picturesque scenery along the way. Tours and guides to the El Limon Waterfalls will charge fees and may ask for a tip.
