The Three Eyes: An Underground World of Beauty and Mystery.
If you want to live a unique and magical experience, you cannot miss Los Tres Ojos National Park, located in Santo Domingo, the capital of the country. It is a set of four underground lakes formed by the collapse of limestone caves. To access them, you will have to go down some stairs and walk along some illuminated paths that will take you to an underground world full of beauty and mystery.
The lakes have different colors and depths, and are surrounded by stalactites, stalagmites, vegetation, and fauna. The most impressive is Lake Enriquillo, which has water so clear that it looks like a mirror. You will be able to see the fish swimming under your feet and the roots of the trees hanging from the ceiling. You can also take a boat that will take you to the fourth lake, called La Nevera, which is separated from the rest by a crack. There you can admire the contrast between the blue of the water and the green of the jungle.
After visiting Los Tres Ojos, you can take the opportunity to visit the national botanical garden, which is very close. It is a green oasis where you can see more than 300 species of native and exotic plants, including orchids, bromeliads, cacti and palm trees. You can also enjoy a Japanese garden with a lake, a bridge and a pagoda.
