Jayan Falls

Immersed in the depths of the majestic mountains of La Gina, Jayan Falls emerges as a hidden gem that will take your breath away. This prodigy of nature, a 35-meter high waterfall, majestically displays itself through a staircase of rocks and water, leaving all who come to visit it in absolute awe.

As you watch the waterfall, you will be captivated by the deafening sound of the water crashing against the rocks, as if it were a crystalline carpet, while you feel the cool breeze coming from the waterfall. The glow of the sun breaking through the darkness of the surrounding forest further enhances the beauty of Jayan's waters, like liquid crystals glistening in the light.

The simple fact of entering the pond and looking at the stream of water gives you the sensation of being in front of a transparent wall that clashes with the treetops surrounding the area. Do you want to discover this place where adventure and natural beauty converge? You won't be able to resist!

Despite its imposing beauty, Jayan Falls has remained hidden for a long time, like a well-kept secret. The locals of Miches have recently begun to promote the abundant and attractive resources of the area to enjoy ecotourism activities, seeking a balance between the exploitation of water resources and the care of this natural environment.

The name of the waterfall, Jayán, comes from the nearby river that irrigates the rice crops in La Gina de Miches, one of the most important activities in the area, and for which the river is fundamental.

During the rainy season, the waters strike with such force that their roar can be heard in the town of La Gina, which is about 7 kilometers away, south of the waterfall. On its way to fall as a waterfall, this torrent crosses through the middle of the rainforest, and has created spectacular pools where visitors can spend a most pleasant time.

Although it is still a hidden gem, Jayan Falls is gaining recognition as a very attractive ecotourism destination, both for international tourists who want to enjoy the adventure and for Dominicans themselves who are looking to enjoy all that their land has to offer.

If you are looking for a place where Mother Nature shows herself in all her splendor, you cannot miss the opportunity to visit this fabulous waterfall in Miches.

When planning your trip Jayan Falls, keep in mind that you will be entering a wild area and, therefore, it is important to be well prepared. Some tips to make the most of your visit are:

• Don't forget to bring a good repellent for mosquitoes and other insects. You will be in the middle of nature, in an area where water is abundant. This place is perfect for mosquitoes, so it is very likely that you will encounter them, as well as other types of insects that live here. You will need to have a good repellent on hand to help you avoid annoying bites.
• Wear closed shoes. The trails along the route to Jayan Falls can be slippery, so it is essential that you wear shoes that have good grip. This way you will be able to keep your balance and avoid falls.
• Swimwear. If you plan to take advantage of your visit to take a dip in the pool that forms under the waterfall, you will need to bring a swimsuit. Keep in mind that changing clothes is not always possible in open spaces like this, so it may be a good idea to wear your swimsuit under your clothes so you don't have to look for a place to put it on.
• Protection from the sun. Although the forest provides some shade, and there are areas where the sun barely manages to enter, there are others where the intensity can be very strong. A hat and a high sun protection cream will help protect you from sunburn.
• Water and food. Also keep in mind that, being an almost unexplored natural area, you will not find bars and restaurants in the surroundings. Be sure to bring enough water to keep you hydrated, and something to eat to replenish your energy during the adventure.

Jayan Falls is located a little more than 150 kilometers from Santo Domingo and 102 kilometers from the tourist area of Bávaro and Punta Cana. It can be accessed from two points.

One of them is the community of La Gina, a few kilometers west of Miches. If you go that way, you can go on foot or on horseback while enjoying the ride.

The other option is to get to kilometer 10 of the Miches-El Seibo highway and take a fairly rough trail, full of cliffs and abysses that can be much more complicated, but that make the adventure an even more enriching experience.
