Description of the Park Los 3 Ojos
The park Los Tres
Ojos is an archaeological site in Santo Domingo
East consisting of a cave with three underground lakes
and a lake in the open air. It was discovered in 1916. This cave
was probably frequented by aborigines who inhabited the island of
Hispaniola.
In the past, it was a public bath (Bano of Anacaona) until it is
banned to protect the ecosystem. The lakes are fed by an underground
river called Brujuela, which goes to Boca Chica.
Water from three underground lakes is particularly clear and limpid,
you can even see some fish. The caves are covered with stalactites
and stalagmites.
The four lakes in the park Los Tres Ojos are:
Azufradas Aguas (Water sulfur) is the first lake as you enter the
cave.

lake does not receive sunlight and thus the water temperature is
