Position approx: the Río Damajagua near Imbert as mapped on OpenStreetMap; the park entrance is about an hour's drive from Puerto Plata city and reachable by car from Luperón or Ocean World. Guides from the local community run the park and entrance fees benefit residents (GoDominicanRepublic). Most visitors do 7 falls; all 27 is for the fit.
