historic center of the city, where the oldest buildings in the country were located. In a colorful and picturesque little house in the area, lived a grandmother named Esperanza. She had been born and raised in this beautiful colonial area and knew every corner of its narrow cobblestone streets. Esperanza used to tell stories to the children of the town about times gone by, when Santo Domingo was the first city founded by the Spaniards in America. Her stories filled everyone who listened with emotion and amazement. One summer afternoon, Grandma Esperanza decided to take the children on an imaginary journey into the past. She took them to the Plaza de España, the heart of the Colonial Zone, where the Alcázar de Colón, the former residence of the family of the discoverer Christopher Columbus, was located.

It is a set of three subway lakes located in natural caves. These caves have been conditioned with stairs and walkways so that visitors can explore them. The lakes have water of different colors due to the light that enters from above, which creates a spectacular landscape. The name "Los Tres Ojos" (The Three Eyes) comes from the three main lakes that can be found in the area. These lakes are known as the Primer Ojo, the Segundo Ojo and the Tercer Ojo, and each has a different depth and size. The First Eye is the largest and deepest, while the Third Eye is the smallest. Other attractions include a waterfall, gardens, picnic areas and a cave used by the Tainos, the first inhabitants of the island.
