Detailed itinerary
1
The Dudú lagoon is located in a natural area of great value but, without a doubt, what will most attract your attention is the lagoon itself. Once you are here, it will be practically inevitable that you will end up enjoying a good swim in its crystal clear waters. The bathroom, in addition to being refreshing, will be a perfect moment to disconnect and breathe deeply to marvel at the special place where you find yourself.
In the surroundings of the Dudú lagoon you can find various caves where you can see formations of stalactites and stalagmites that the water has been forming. However, in the Taíno cave you will find the best place to contemplate the pre-Columbian art that decorates its 30 m long walls.
In addition to caving, refreshing baths, fun jumping off the rocks or an interesting visit to the caves.
