Salto de Jimenoa
Jarabacoa's most famous waterfall, a roughly 60-metre curtain of water pouring into a deep pool. Suspension bridges and stairs lead down to the pool's edge.
Salto de Jimenoa, also called Jimenoa Uno, lies about 10 km east of town. The waterfall shown in the opening scene of Jurassic Park was filmed here. From the parking area, a steep staircase and suspension bridge take about 10 minutes to reach the pool. Spray is heavy and the current is strong, so swimming is prohibited. A lower falls, Jimenoa Dos, can be reached only by a hiking trail. Entry costs a small fee (roughly 100-plus pesos). The climb back up the stairs is tiring, so wear non-slip shoes.
