    Three Eyes National Park is a nature reserve that features a limestone cave system that's home to 3 crystal-clear lakes, which is where the Three Eyes name comes from. The lakes inside the caves are freshwater pools, and the nearby walking paths offer interesting viewpoints for your family to see them.

    When you visit this park, be prepared for a lot of steps. Elevation changes are common throughout the cave network. Dress cool as well since it can get quite warm and humid inside the caves. The park is just 10 minutes from Santo Domingo's colonial zone.
