THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel
Spend a full day blasting across off-road trails in 6x6 Mega Tiger buggies, then cool off at the Damajagua 27 Charcos — a string of natural pools and waterfalls. Expect hands-on adventure, a homemade Dominican lunch, and a mix of hiking, swimming, and optional cliff jumps.

You start the morning with the rumble of 6x6 Mega Tiger trucks under you and the air thick with citrus and dust as you roll away from the coastal hotels toward the interior hills of Puerto Plata. The trail opens into dirt tracks that climb past small farms; the buggies dart between palms and scrub as the ocean’s humidity yields to cooler mountain air.

You start the morning with the rumble of 6x6 Mega Tiger trucks under you and the air thick with citrus and dust as you roll away from the coastal hotels toward the interior hills of Puerto Plata. The trail opens into dirt tracks that climb past small farms; the buggies dart between palms and scrub as the ocean’s humidity yields to cooler mountain air.
Geology here is honest — folded volcanic highs and drainage cuts that feed the series of natural pools at Damajagua (the 27 Charcos). The falls have been a local playground for generations, and the tour weaves that living culture with a farm lunch of homemade Dominican food and fruit picked near the route.
Expect a mix of off-road driving and active water time: hiking short, rocky approaches, scrambling around ledges, sliding into clear cairns of cool water, and — for many — jumping from low cliffs into pools. Guides manage group safety and show local spots few visitors find, including secret beach detours on the return.
Practical guidance: bring a secure water shoe, quick-dry clothing, and waterproof sunscreen; drivers must carry a valid license. Be honest about swimming comfort — currents are modest but some jumps leave little margin for error. The day runs roughly six to eight hours with hotel pickup included; cancel policies typically require 24-hour notice. Hydrate before you arrive, respect the guide’s sequence, and leave no trace — the falls are popular and fragile, so packing out trash keeps this adrenalineday landscape open for the next group.
Yes — a valid driver’s license is required for anyone who intends to drive the buggy; passengers do not need one.
No — cliff jumps are optional. Guides point out safer, shallower pools for those who prefer not to jump.
Non-swimmers can still enjoy several pools and the buggy portion, but basic comfort in waist-deep water is recommended; life vests may be available.
Most operators require 24-hour notice for a full refund and may cancel for bad weather; check your booking confirmation for exact terms.
