Cabarete Caves (El Choco National Park)
Parque Nacional El Choco
A karst forest park behind Cabarete where you can descend into an underground cave and swim in its cool groundwater pool.
El Choco National Park lies south of the town of Cabarete, covering lagoons and karst forest. Its best-known feature is the underground cave: descend a ladder into the grotto and swim in clear, cool groundwater, while viewing stalactites and rock art left by the Taíno. A local guide is required. The walk plus cave visit takes about 2 hours and costs several dozen US dollars. Horseback riding and birdwatching are also available in the park. Bring non-slip shoes, a swimsuit and a waterproof bag.
