Traveling Dominicana: TRES OJOS - A Visual Story (25 Photos)

---

Starting a series of visual stories from Dominican Republic. First day was visiting pretty amazing "The Three Eyes National Park" close to the capital city Santo Domingo

Some information from wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Eyes_National_Park

The site was created centuries ago as a result of tectonic fractures when caves collapsed, forming a bowl-shaped depression which subsequently filled with water. Initially, the cave was used by the indigenous Taíno Indians for religious rituals and fertility rites. The Taíno were the first inhabitants of the Hispaniola island. The three lakes are called "Lago de Azufre" (discovered in 1916), "La Nevera" and "El Lago de las Damas". Some of the lakes also have openings on the outside. A staircase cut into the rock gives access to the first cave. A boat pulls visitors across the second lake to give access to a fourth lake called "Los Zaramagullones," not considered one of the three "eyes" or main lakes since it has an opening to the outside.

Enjoy!
