There are several waterfalls within driving distance of Samaná. Without question, the best one is in the center of Samaná Peninsula about 15 miles from Santa Bárbara de Samaná. Most people call it El Limón Waterfall. Others refer to it as Salto del Limón or Cascada Limón. Everyone agrees it is spectacular. Getting there is the easy part. Just book an excursion or hire a taxi. After arriving, you must walk a 1.5 mile trail to reach the waterfall. The path is forested, often muddy and sometimes hilly. Crossing the river by hopping on slippery stones can be tricky. An alternative is to arrange for a horseback ride from a nearby ranch. Walk or ride, the journey is as memorable as the destination.
