Deep into the rainforest, this waterfall is a diamond of nature, cristal water and great place to swim.

We were sent to Chez Santi in El Limon, the restaurant outpost for Santi Rancho for our excursion to El Limon - the must see waterfall on the Samana Peninsula.

Santi is a warm and welcoming (and english speaking) host. He arranged a guide for us to El Limon waterfall, and we had a delicious lunch afterwards at Chez Santi. He kindly accommodated our request to walk to the falls as opposed to riding on a horse for most of the trek. This was fun for us but it is a strenuous walk, only recommended for those in good physical condition.
While on our trek, I saw that many other tour groups were led by young children, and I really appreciate the fact that Santi does not use child labor. The meal we had after our adventure was delicious, especially after the long hike.

I highly recommend making arrangements to visit El Limon through Santi Rancho. There are many "tour guides" in the area as you approach El Limon, and I suggest that you go only with a reputable establishment like this one.

Fun! Nice way to meet the locals and enjoy a traditional Dominican meal.

I recommend Santi (Rancho Santi) not only for the wonderful food but attention to whatever you may need. I went with my mother and sisters (all adults) and went horseback with two delightful young guides. We had a great time our group was just us which I loved. We stayed at the ranch, which if you know that it is truly just basic accommodations (no tv, air conditioning, bathroom outside) you'll be fine. I thought it was very quaint and nicely kept. The price is very reasonable. We paid 21 USD for a horseback hike (2 hours) plus over an hour at the waterfall and included lunch. The food at their restaurant was very good as well. I would go back with my own family. The view is spectacular!
