I went to El Limon a few weeks ago and hiked up through the mud and crossed the stream. I?m going to go again but take my parents with me. I?d really rather not take horses. A friend of mine who went last week said a lady told him there was a better entrance if you wanted to hike that wasn?t as bad. Does anyone have any information about that? Thanks!

El Limon - Different entrances
I Believe if you take the road toward Samana you will see various entrance points that I think are a little closer to the falls.
Hi:
I am not sure the entrance number but there is a trail that crosses the river a couple of times and then starts to ascend up the mountain. You end up above the falls and then you walk down to the natural pool. It is about 45min to 1 hr.to walk up. If there has been rain it will be muddy. Much of the trail in a dry river bed. If you go through the town of El Limon and make a right turn and head for the many entrances. You will see signs for various entrance points. Any of those places can direct you to the walking trail and may want to guide you. There is a 50 peso government entrance fee to enter the park and the walk up. Good luck.

She and her family are terrific!
And she makes the most yummy yuca con anis frito!
Her place is Parador #5...
I took yesterday a guagua from Samana-City to parada Senderola La Javilla, 70 peso, you can tell the driver to stop there at the sign for the parada. Then a nice 35 min walk in shadow, hardly ups and downs, didn't even get my shoes dirty. All the time straight forward, can't miss the way. After 10 min there is a branch to the right, don't take that. In another 5 min a branch to the left over a river, don't take that. Above the waterfall the stairs down are on the right side of the building. For the way back I took the normal way. Was also a nice downhill walk cause hadn't been raining for a week, but after rain I would't recommend that. You have to cross a small river twice. Then with a guagua back to Samana, the second time I used money. I didn't get any angry looks from the guides. Maybe next time I take one, there were some attractive girls among them ;-)
