Los Tres Ojos

TIME : 2016/2/18 15:27:39

Consisting of three very humid caverns with still, dark lagoons inside and connected by stalactite-filled passages, this is a mildly interesting site frequented by organized tours. The caves are limestone sinkholes, carved by water erosion over thousands of years. Unfortunately, the tranquility of the setting is usually upset by guides aplenty (who are unnecessary) and vendors aggressively hawking their services and wares at the entrance.

The entrance is a long stairway down a narrow tunnel in the rock; once at the bottom, cement paths lead you through the caves or you can visit them by boat for another RD$20.
