Before There Were Humans
Hidden in the urban sprawl of Santo Domingo lies a natural wonder that couldn't be any further juxtaposed to city life--more a land of dinosaurs than humans. After a morning and lunch in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, we took A 20-minute bus ride from the Colonial Zone to Los tres ojos, or The Three Eyes, cavernous lakes connected through underground passages.
We descended into the passage, carefully hanging on to the side rail, which brought us to the first lake.

Nature is still, quiet and patient. If you sit and listen, you can feel it. You remember these qualities exist within you. Thank you Santo Domingo for preserving this natural wonder in the midsts of your city.
