About The Three Eyes National Park - Los Tres Ojos
For those looking to break from the city's rich history, consider exploring Santo Domingo's tranquil Los Tres Ojos (which translates to "The Three Eyes" in English). This national park — which sits about 5 miles east of the Zona Colonial and is best reached by taxi — houses three limestone caverns, each of which features a lake. (Keep in mind that swimming is prohibited in any of the lakes.) Once inside the caves, you can explore by foot or boat.
