What are you talking about?
Well maybe you can explain how when we spent time at the falls the guides girlfriend rode her pasola and parked it on the road to take a path down to the falls. While you are at it please explain how those who do not want to go horseback riding to Baiguate Falls take the Outback tourist truck and walk to the falls.
I can read. Did you ever think he may enjoy parking his car and ride horseback to the falls? Or quite possibly spend the day hanging out at Rancho Baiguate and ride the open air Outback truck to the falls?
I take it you have been to both falls via of car so why not add some positive input.
Quote from website:
There are three waterfalls around Jarabacoa - El Salto de Baiguate, Salto Jimenoa Uno and Salto Jimenoa Dos. The Jimenoa waterfalls are more spectacular and frequently visited than Baiguate, which is in a lush canyon and a little harder to access.
Google it it's a long treck by unpaved road as I recall. Better by SUV, motorbike, horse or outback tourist trick.

What? Go back and read your post #15 because you are getting me confused. I only know of my first hand experience not some garbage I read off of a tourist website.
You perhaps have referred to el Salto de Baiguate near Rancho Baiguate on the Rio Camu which is inland from the main roads serving Jarabacoa. I know they do horseback trips to this falls having seen them.
I refer to the best well known and most visited falls on Rio Yaque del Norte, the Saltas de Jimenoa which are signposted in the town and accessible by car (no SUV or horse needed) on paved road right up to the entrance gate. You then walk on the swaying suspended walkways to the falls.......an enjoyable experience as was visiting all the waterfalls in the Jarabacoa/Constanza area.
Google link in post #19 shows those falls in pictures for OP to consider.
I was there 18 months back

OK this is super helpful. It sounds like I can drive right up to the gate, park and walk to the falls.
None of them are long treks. I myself would go Rancho Baiguate and if you are athletic enough do the canyon climb.
Yes.....almost.....car park is very adjacent.
Have a look at those pics on Google in post #19........you will see what I mean by suspended walkway. No idea how the falls are flowing in this drought though.
When travelling around this country, I map out my trip and then use Google Earth to get a feel for the land and roads. The reality is that DR road maps are lousy and the sign posting is terrible so Google Earth is a great aid.

Seems the country has had some decent rainfall today, so one would expect good falls in the north of the Cordillera Central.....which feed Rio Yaque del Norte and Rio Camu.
Maybe Salta Limon has started to flow seriously again in Samana after 'donP's post earlier reporting good rain over there....maybe he can see from his hilltop whilst lazing in his infinity edge pool....'life of Reilly' lol
