Cuevas del Callejón
At the end of the busy Callejón de la Loma, lies the entrance to Cabarete’s magical caves. The tour includes 3 caves: the first one you climb down 25 meters and take a refreshing bath in the crystal clear sweet water with your flashlight as the only illumination. In the second cave you’re going to see ancient stalagmite and stalactite. And in the third one you can jump down 5 meters, into the pool of the cave.
Enjoy a vigorous walk along the ocean on the way to either Cabarete or Sea Horse Ranch (SHR). They are both similar but on opposite directions. Each one takes about an hour and a half, depending on how many stops you make. This walk will lead you to tropical gardens and endless, lonely beaches with lots of little bays to swim in. Experience untouched tropical forest and some hidden surf spots close to SHR (like El Canal or El Spot).
