The 3 Eyes National Park

In this beautiful national park we will see 4 lakes, each one with its charm and particularity:- Aguas Azufradas: It is four meters deep and a whitish component can be seen at its bottom that was thought to be sulfur, hence the name of the lake, but later it was discovered that it was calcium and other minerals. - La Nevera: It is 5.4 meters deep; It is the coldest since sunlight does not reach it. Its temperature varies between 15 and 21 ºC. - Lago de las Damas: 2.5 meters deep. Formerly it was used as a spa for women and children. - Los Zaramagullones: The curious name given to the lake is due to some native ducks of the area. At 6.1 meters deep, the beautiful lake is surrounded by exuberant vegetation, since it is the only cavity that is outdoors.We will take a boat tour inside the caverns.Three hours are taken en route from pick up to Santo Domingo.
