Jarabacoa

- Location: Cibao Valley
Fodor's Review:
Nature lovers should consider a trip to Jarabacoa, in the mountainous region known rather wistfully as the Dominican Alps. There's little to do in the town itself but eat and rest up for excursions on foot, horseback, or by motorbike taxi to the surrounding waterfalls and forests -- quite incongruous in such a tropical country. Other activities include adventure tours, particularly white-water rafting or canoe trips, jeep safaris, and paragliding. Accommodations in the area are rustic but homey. Mountain lovers will be excited to learn that a new ecolodge with an appropriate level of comfort is under construction. The Mountain Air Lodge, 5 1/2 mi (9 km) outside of Constanza, plans to have its infrastructure and six rental cabins fully operational by June 2007. Solar and wind power will be in effect, fresh produce will come from the garden. You'll be able to go horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking, too. For updates contact mountainairlodge@yahoo.com, or call 809/915-2632.
