In the Dominican Republic, Bonao is a lush sanctuary of rolling hills, majestic mountains, and a thriving arts scene. The Jima Waterfalls National Monument is the most stunning of the natural wonders in Bonao. It’s a cluster of 12 spectacular waterfalls cascading into one another, foaming white among the slate-grey boulders and emerald-green foliage. The surrounding region is teeming with biodiversity—fig trees, ferns, sparrows, parakeets, and other amphibians. Be sure to explore this trail, weaving through the rainforest, to drink insights into the waterfall and fauna! Visit the Cándido Bído and Tiburcio museums, Plaza de la Cultura for its colorful murals and fine-arts workshops, or the nationwide-famous Típico Bonao for traditional Dominican food, all day round.
