The Thrill of the Climb

As a seasoned adrenaline junkie, I thought I had seen it all. But the allure of the Damajagua Waterfalls in Puerto Plata was too tempting to resist. My fiancée and I, always on the hunt for our next heart-pounding adventure, decided to take the plunge—literally. We were greeted by Rosario and Jennifer from D.S.R.R. VIP tours, who whisked us away from the cruise port in a party bus that was as lively as our spirits. With refreshments, Wi-Fi, and music setting the tone, we knew we were in for a treat.

The journey to the waterfalls was filled with anticipation. The rain had been relentless, and the guides warned us about the strong currents. But fear is just another word for excitement, right? Our guides, Francis and Deivi, were the epitome of professionalism and enthusiasm. They briefed us on what to expect, ensuring we were prepared for the adventure ahead. With my trusty hiking shoes and a waterproof camera in hand, I was ready to conquer the falls.

Conquering the Cascades

The climb to the top of the waterfalls was nothing short of exhilarating. Each step was a testament to nature’s raw beauty and power. The guides, Francis and Deivi, were like Spiderman, scaling the rocks with ease and ensuring our safety at every turn. Their expertise was evident, and their passion for the waterfalls was infectious. My fiancée and I, along with our group, felt like explorers discovering a hidden gem.

Reaching the top was a triumph, but the real thrill was the descent. Jumping, sliding, and swimming down the natural rock slides was an adrenaline rush like no other. The water was invigorating, and the sense of freedom was unparalleled. For those with a fear of heights, this might not be the ideal excursion, but for thrill-seekers like us, it was pure bliss. The facility provided lockers for our belongings, and I entrusted my phone to Francis, who captured some incredible moments for us.

A Feast for the Senses

After the adrenaline-fueled adventure, we were treated to a sumptuous buffet. The grilled pork chops, chicken, and rice dishes were a culinary delight, and Rosario and Jennifer ensured our glasses were never empty. The camaraderie among our group was palpable, and the shared experience of conquering the waterfalls made the meal even more enjoyable.

Before heading back to the cruise port, Rosario took us to a quaint coffee house. Here, we witnessed the art of coffee-making and indulged in samples of freshly brewed coffee and hot chocolate. It was the perfect way to wind down after an action-packed day. As we sipped our drinks, we couldn’t help but reflect on the incredible journey we had just experienced.

For anyone visiting the Amber Cove area, the Damajagua Waterfalls are a must-see. The combination of natural beauty, thrilling adventure, and exceptional service from D.S.R.R. VIP tours made this an unforgettable experience. Just remember to bring cash for tips—these guides work tirelessly to ensure you have the adventure of a lifetime.
