Lagoon in Cabrera, Dominican Republic.
Laguna Dudú is a park in Cabrera built around a series of turquoise lagoons surrounded by caves and forest. The Ministry of Tourism, which describes the lagoons as freshwater, places it about two hours' drive east of Puerto Plata and about an hour from Playa Grande.
The main lagoon lies in a large sinkhole, which press accounts describe as the collapse of an underground cave; cement stairs lead down to the water. The ministry lists swimming, kayak rental and exploring one of the caves on foot. A second pool, Pozo de los Caballos, is connected to the main lagoon. There is also a makeshift zipline that drops about 10 meters (33 feet) into the deepest lagoon; the ministry says it is used at your own risk.
There is a restaurant and bar on site and plenty of green space for relaxing between swims.
