If you like nature and adventure El Dudu is a magnificent natural crater of spring water known as a “cenote or sinkhole” where swimming and jumping off its high walls is truly an unforgettable experience!
For the more adventurous, scuba diving through El Dudu’s four extensive underwater caves is a lifetime memory!

Arts & Culture
Sosua`s history began with the influx of Jewish settlers back in 1940, after the Evian conference and the agreement between Trujillo and then U.S. president Roosevelt. The Sosua Jewish museum was established in honor of the ones who had to escape from the horrors of the war in Europe because of the German Nazis. About 600-800 Jews arrived at the island between 1940 and 1945, mostly well educated citizens that had to radically alter their lives, with the task of resettling abandoned banana plantations despite their total lack of farming skills. The Jewish Museum ( Museo Judio ) located next to the Casa Marina Hotel was inaugurated Feb. 3, 2003, in the presence of many dignitaries.
