Beautiful nature reserve - What an amazing place. So much to see. Flowers, fruit trees and statues were incredible. Amazing view at the view point.
Make sure you were good shoes as the paths can be slippery in the shady areas. Also buy a drink at its quite a long way around. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful piece of nature - What a great walk through a very special environment. We walked around leisurely for 1.5 to 2 hours. And enjoyed great nature and animals with a high cuddly content. Paul showed us the route and gave us some food for the animals. Highly recommended. We were there with our own transport, which went very well. Make sure you wear good shoes because the paths can sometimes be slippery and the last part is quite uphill (for untrained runners) quite difficult. Here they really do a good job of preserving a beautiful piece of nature.

Amazing experience - Magnificent place, where you are accompanied by a prepared and kind guide. It is a walk in nature among trees, flowers, fruits and animals, an experience that gives you peace as well as culture. Here you are introduced to the local fauna and flora, as well as the history of the Taino (the native people of the DR). Thanks go to the owner Paul for his kindness and his willingness to welcome. It is absolutely a place to visit.

A well spent morning - We had an amazing visit. The guide was super knowledgeable and very friendly. We loved the petting zoo and the chance to interact with the animals. It will definitely be on our list for all our visitors from now on.

Great day near Puerto Plata, Cabarete, Sosua - It`s a nice park in the jungle, where you find lots of information about dominican plants and Taino culture. Staff was very informative, although we didn`t have a guided tour. The kids (6 and 8yrs) loved feeding the animals and were very interested to hear about the Taino godesses. There are nice spots for a pic-nic.

Wonderful experience - We did a guided tour with Paul together with our little one and can strongly recommend this place! Also we would suggest to take a guide as you might miss many very interesting plants and animals. Sometimes you are accompanied by ducks or goats on your way and there are so many other different species to explore. There are silent spots just to sit, watch and listen to nature, a labyrinth and a petting zoo and many more attractions however for us the plants and the background info from Paul were another highlight. Swing by and you will not regret it, if family or not!!!

Taino Valley Tour - Taking pictures of the statues, plants, flowers, trees, and fruits. The vegetation and scenery is very nice and peaceful. Enrique was our tour guide and he took some awesome pictures for us. So we had a tour guide and photographer. I had on good walking shoes, but forgot to bring mosquitoes repellent. Those mosquitoes seemed to like B+ blood haha. The mosquitoes didn’t like my wife. They provided bottle water at the beginning of the tour. The owner even provided a refreshing snack (banana, dragon fruit, sweet lemon, and orange) after the tour and chatted with us.
