Fodor's Review:
Southwest of Puerto Plata, this mountain soars 2,600 feet above sea level and is notable for its huge statue of Christ. Up there also are recently rejuvenated botanical gardens. You can choose to hire a knowledgeable English-speaking guide for $5 a person. A cable car takes you to the top for a spectacular view. Know that they usually wait until the cars are filled to capacity before going up -- which makes them cozy; and should the electricity happen to go off, there is no backup generator.
