SE2 - 15, El Este National Park, Dominican Republic
Season 2, Episode 15 … After the weather window closed in on us, we decided to delay our passage to Samana on the Northern Coast. So we had a chance to explore the Southern Coast of the DR for a couple more days. We anchored just off of El Este National Park and explored the area by dingy and enjoyed our time there playing in the crystal clear waters of this National Park.
It's times like this that we are glad that we are not on a time frame or have any final destination in mind. We did not set out on this life style to sail around the world or only go for a year or two. When we left, in October 2015, we said we were going to sail as long as we were having fun. We didn't want to stress ourselves out with time frames or destinations.... This was a place we would have never stayed if we were on a timeframe, we would have continued North to Samana under not so comfortable (not unsafe, just uncomfortable) weather conditions to stay on schedule.
I hope you enjoy our videos and subscribe to our family's YouTube channel to see all of our cruising adventures.

Santo Domingo Travel Guide - Dominican Republic wonderful Memories
Santo Domingo Travel Guide - Dominican Republic wonderful Memories
Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and the oldest European city in the Americas. The old city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Santo Domingo is the capital city of the Dominican Republic, and it prides itself in being the first European city in the New World. Founded by Christopher Columbus's brother Bartolome Colombus in 1496, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas and was the first seat of the Spanish colonial empire in the New World. For this reason, the city of Santo Domingo has a really rich historic and cultural heritage that makes any visit extremely worthwhile. Nowadays, it remains one of the most populous cities in the Central America-Caribbean area, and the main economic and commercial center of this region. The city is divided into two parts by the Ozama River. The western side is very developed economically, while the eastern part, known as Santo Domingo Este, has historically lagged behind.
The most important tourist destination of the city is the Zona Colonial or Colonial Zone, on the western bank of the river and facing the Caribbean Sea. To the west of the Zona Colonial lies Gazcue, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, filled with old Victorian houses and tree-lined streets. The city's waterfront George Washington Avenue, knows as El Malecon, borders the Caribbean Sea and attracts many tourists because of its hotels, casinos, palm-lined boulevards and monuments. Surrounding the Gazcue area you will find the Palacio Nacional (seat of the Dominican government), the National Theater, the Museums in the Plaza de la Cultura, and the Palace of Fine Arts.
In the central part of western Santo Domingo lies the economic and commercial heart of the city, in an area known as the Poligono Central and delimited by the 27 de Febrero, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Maximo Gomez avenues. This high-income area remains rather unexplored by tourists, despite offering most of the best dining and shopping available in the city. Many of the city's most affluent neighborhoods surround the city's two main parks, the Parque Mirador Sur in the South and the Jardin Botanico in the North.
In the less developed Oriental Santo Domingo you will find other major monuments and tourist spots, such as Columbus's Lighthouse, where the explorer's remains are buried, the open caves of the Parque Nacional Los Tres Ojos, and the National Aquarium. This all makes of Santo Domingo a cosmopolitan, vibrant and bustling city with very distinct neighborhoods and ambiances, all worth a visit, and providing the most diverse cultural experiences.
Santo Domingo was, until recently, a huge city (pop. nearly 4 million people) that was split into 5 independent municipalities: Distrito Nacional, Santo Domingo Este, Santo Domingo Oeste, Santo Domingo Norte and Boca Chica. Fortunately, nearly all tourist attractions and shopping, dining and entertainment venues are located relatively close to each other in the Distrito Nacional, making it easy for you to get around and see the sights.

Alcázar de Colón
Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor

The Los Haitises National Park tour proves that the Dominican Republic has way more to offer than beautiful beaches on your Punta Cana vacation.

The tour will cruise through the canals of the majestic mangrove forests, home to hundreds of different species of Dominican flora and fauna, and into the San Lorenzo Bay.
Photo-inspiring views of the lush outcroppings and the mountains in the distance await you, and if you are really lucky dolphin sightings are not uncommon.

LA RUTA ESCONDIDA HACIA EL SALTO MAS ALTO DEL CARIBE - LA JALDA, REPUBLICA DOMINICANA
Un poquito más de aventura:

CORREO: alejandra@alejateconale.com
Esta fue nuestra travesía de 12 horas hacia el Salto más alto del Caribe, el Salto de La Jalda, una de las aventuras mas intensas que he tenido en mucho tiempo! El cansancio casi nos quiebra, pero fuimos mas grande que las circunstancias. Este video es el resultado de cuando 4 locos se juntan sin un plan, sin saber a dónde van y confiando en google maps. Llegamos a una comunidad en el Seibo llamada Yabón y preguntamos dónde podíamos conseguir un guia, la respuesta de más de 5 personas con cara de asombro era la misma: para donde? pero eso es lejos! Nosotros como que si lo sabemos, no importa, somos de guerra pensando que eran 6 horas en total (ida y vuelta) lo que se supone que es cuando vas por la ruta correcta, que obvio no fue por dónde fuimos nosotros. Al final encontramos a un señor en un caballo que al parecer era el único loco dispuesto a llevarnos (Gracias Fernando!) Como a las 8:30am arrancamos a caminar llegamos al salto a las 2:30pm no pudimos estar mucho tiempo ya que teníamos 6 horas de caminata de vuelta. Nos agarró la noche, teníamos un foco y varios celulares, o al menos eso pensábamos, mi foco se le descargó la batería, el celular de Carolyn se dañó, el celular de Juan no tenía foco y solo contamos con el celular de Dannerys que se estaba descargando, estuvimos caminando en plena oscuridad con un solo foco por más de tres horas donde el lodo nos iba acariciando las rodillas en cada paso. Llegamos al carro a eso de las 10pm, muertos, una señora nos dió agua para bañarnos en su patio, el agua que nos despertó y permitió que llegáramos despiertos a la capital a las 12am. Que si valió la pena? Claro que si! Esta experiencia no me la quita nadie!
OJO: Esta NO es la ruta de senderismo por el cual la gente llega al salto, usualmente se va desde Magua! y son aprox 6 horas ida y vuelta, o pueden acampar en la caseta de guardaparques y regresar al otro dia.
Esta ruta que hicimos nosotros es solo para los verdaderos aventureros, locos, o los que no tienen idea de lo que están haciendo (como nosotros)

Feedback/Review:
The entrance cost $25USD which is a fair price, you will need to walk around 15mins to the lagoons the biggest one is called Guama where most of the people stay the most, theres like a cliff where you can jump into the lagoon or by stairs. It has place to sit also, ill let the video explain enjoy!
***Punta Cana, Republica Dominicana.
Experiencia:
La entrada es $25USD p/p pero si eres propietario de alguna casa adentro de Punta Cana Resort pues es gratis, cuando entras caminas algunos 15mins para llegar al laguna mas grande de ahi se llama Guama donde mayoría de las personas disfrutan, ahi hay sitio donde puede sentar y hay dos formas para entrar al laguna por escaleritas o te puedes tirarte, el agua esta fría pero luego de entrarte no se siente tanto,. disfruta!
This is not the original song track from the video, it was removed by the copyrights from the owner/youtube. So the video feels crappy when watching with different song.
Please do not use video without permission thanks!
