The walk through the forest is nice in itself; the reward is marvelous: the Limón waterfall is an exciting destination in the middle of the Samaná peninsula.
When we reached the basin of the waterfall, we were delighted to cool off in the basin. Looking up, the continuous stream of falling water impressed us: the drop here is around 40 metres. The water is launched from above, and crushes on the rocks below before hitting the basin below. It was fantastic to swim around, to swim against the strong current towards the waterfall and look up at the gigantic shower, and to finally swim through the waterfall and arrive behind the curtain of water. Some local guys were showing off by climbing the very slippery rocks, and jumping down. The basin appeared to be so deep that it took a long time for some to emerge. While large groups of tourists come here, they never stay very long, and in between we sometimes had the waterfall and its basin to ourselves. A great place to retreat in nature, to relax, and to get completely soaked. The walk back was a pleasure.
