The Los Patos

The Los Patos waterway and town are situated in the Barahona Province of the Dominican Republic, close to the town of Paraíso. With only 61 meters — relying upon the tide — it is the most limited waterway on the island and among the briefest streams in the world.[1]

The town itself lives from angling and nearby tourism. On the weekends the waterway is a prominent showering spot because of its frosty temperatures. The name Los Patos (the ducks) is gotten from the surprising huge measure of ducks early pilgrims experienced at this particular waterway. For quite a while the ducks of Los Patos were wiped out, until the neighborhood tourism board acquired a lot of Muscovy ducks to re-populate the river.[2] Dominican tyrant Rafael Trujillo, once nicknamed it "Los Chorros De Oro."
