Embrace the Tranquility of Miches

As the holiday hustle fades into the background, Miches in the El Seibo Province of the Dominican Republic offers a serene escape for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. With the weather promising clear skies and comfortable temperatures, it’s the perfect time to explore the natural beauty of this Caribbean gem. Imagine starting your day with a gentle breeze and the sound of waves lapping against the shore, as you prepare to embark on a journey that will rejuvenate your spirit.

The first stop on your Miches adventure should be the La Jalda Waterfall Hike, where the day begins early at 6:30 AM. This private tour takes you deep into the Dominican forest, offering a 14-kilometer trek through lush cacao, coconut, and coffee forests. The trail, mostly shaded by towering trees, leads to the breathtaking Salto de La Jalda, the tallest waterfall in the Caribbean. Here, you can take a refreshing swim or simply bask in the natural beauty surrounding you. One reviewer noted on 2023-08-17:

This tour was truly incredible, easily the best part of our trip to the DR! We were picked up at our Airbnb in Punta Cana by Angelo, drove two hours to just outside of Miches where we had a delicious breakfast at a little restaurant. Angelo supplied us with water and snacks for the trip. Then two amazing local guides and two rockstar mules took us on this amazing journey through Salto De La Jalda National Park. We didn’t speak Spanish and they didn’t speak English but we figured out how to communicate and had a blast! Our guides, two high-spirited young men, showed us how to eat cacao pods which were so tasty! We took lots of Polaroids and selfies and ate lots of snacks together. We crossed the river many times and climbed up the sides of ravines. When we got to the waterfall we swam in the pool there. It was beautiful! We had a delicious lunch at the same little spot when we returned. Best chicken I’ve ever had! The hike/ journey is a challenge for sure, it’s humid and hot, you will get wet crossing the river, and the trail does incline. But trust me, if you can do it, it’s 100% worth it! One of the most unique and memorable experiences I’ve ever had.
