You don't go directly to the waterfalls by car. You park your vehicle and walk to the falls. Myself, I like to go horseback riding to the falls.
OK thanks. I'm wondering if I can actually get to the waterfalls and/or somewhere clean to swim by car and also what else is there to do on a day trip.
OK thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Is there other stuff to do there besides the fall?
Rancho Baiguate or Rancho Jarabacoa. I like Rancho jarabacoa. Both can do the horseback ride to the falls. I usually go to Rancho Jarabacoa for the horseback riding and to hang out for a few hours. Either one is really nice.

For Salto de Jimenao, the most likely waterfall to visit, you drive on a paved road from town to a car park on a paved which is about 50yds from the entrance to a walkway to the walls. This walkway is suspended for most of it length on one side of the valley before crossing over the river and a short walk to viewing position. All in all the walkway after the entrance pay booth is maybe 300yds. View images of the falls on Google to see what you will be visiting.
There is another access to the falls from the Constanza road but doubt very much you would like that hike.

If you prefer a more leisurely scenic driving trip through the mountain towns and you are travelling by car, you could drive up to Jarbacoa see the falls, take lunch (there is a decent restaurant in the town centre as I recall), and then take the very scenic new road winding through the hills to Constanza returning back to Autopista Duarte direct from Constanza with a less than one hour drive to Santiago to follow. Allow about 8/9 hours for that on good roads (that is how long it took me from the capital with a few cold beer stops).

I don't know because I have gone by horseback. One time I did do Salto de Jimenao by car and it was a very small chump change fee to get in.
Here is a seven year old thread. It will always remain as one of my most enjoyable days spent in la rep dom.
