OVERVIEW

Jarabacoa is a small town in the central highlands of the Dominican Republic, surrounded by forested mountains, farms and fast rivers. Coffee, vegetables and flowers grow in the cooler climate. Waterfalls, ranches and country lodges are spread across the wider valley. Settlement follows the relationship between mountain terrain and rivers, which remains visible beyond the main visitor routes.

Rafting, hiking and horse riding provide the main activities. Roads are steep and scattered attractions require transport. The mountain setting offers a strong contrast with the coastal resorts. Local farms and quieter valley roads provide more depth beyond the main adventure activities. Forest is encountered differently from mountain terrain, making it worthwhile to leave time for both parts of the destination.
