Laguna Dudu is a natural cenote in Cabrera, Dominican Republic: two deep freshwater lagoons with turquoise water, connected by an underground tunnel. It has a cliff jump of about 10 meters, a zipline, caves to explore and a Taino archaeological cave.

Laguna Dudu is on Carretera 5 (Nagua-Cabrera) in La Entrada, near Cabrera. The drive from central Puerto Plata is about 120 km and takes around 2 hours 25 minutes. Most visitors book a tour with transport or hire a private driver.

Entry to Laguna Dudu costs RD$400 from age 12 and RD$200 for children aged 3 to 11, and children under 2 go in free, according to the park website. Life jacket rental, the zipline and a locker cost RD$100 each.

The cliff jump at Laguna Dudu is about 10 meters high, and the park website does not mention lifeguards, so each visitor jumps at their own risk. Life jackets can be rented for RD$100. The zipline also costs RD$100 and is only open to visitors aged 12 and over.

Bring cash in Dominican pesos, sunscreen, a towel, a waterproof phone case and water shoes. Lockers at Laguna Dudu cost RD$100 and the park asks for an ID.

Near Laguna Dudu are Playa Entrada, the natural pool of Playa Diamante, the El Saltadero waterfall, Playa Grande, the town of Cabrera and Cabo Frances Viejo National Park.

Laguna Dudu opens every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, according to the park website. Weekday mornings tend to be quieter than weekends.

The dry season, from December to April, usually brings the most stable weather. Laguna Dudu opens all year, and arriving at 9:00 AM, when it opens, means fewer visitors.
