The secret retreat you should check out in the Dominican Republic

It’s not that easy to get to Samana, but once you’re there, it’ll be worth all the effort.

The best way to survive the muddy trails and rocky slopes on the way to the El Limon waterfall is to trust the surefootedness of Pedro the horse.

Visitors can do the 2.5km trek through the thick forest on foot too. But after heavy rainfall the previous day and seeing the horse rental station at the start of the trail, it’s an easy call.
