Charcos de los Militares
Charco de los Militares
A chain of natural pools and small waterfalls in a river valley in the southwestern hills of Cabarete, good for swimming and jumping, with few visitors.
Charcos de los Militares lies in the hills south of Sosúa, where the river forms several cool green pools and small waterfalls among the rocks. Locals often come to swim and picnic on weekends. It is about a 15-minute walk from the parking area along a path, and the trail is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Facilities are basic, with a small fee at the entrance. It is less famous and less crowded than the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, making it a good option for those who want to play in the water nearby. Hiring a local guide or joining a small group tour is recommended.
