Jarabacoa - Dominican Republic
Jarabacoa is the river rafting, mountain biking and hiking capital of the Caribbean. Indeed Jarabacoas Baiguate Ranch was responsible for the mountain biking competitions for the 2003 Pan Am Games.
Discovered many years ago by affluent Dominicans seeking a respite from the hot summer temperatures in the cities, it is dotted by luxury mountain homes all throughout giving the impression the whole area is a gated community away from the stress of city living.
A thriving small city stocks anything one will need for comfortable living, and while Fernando Pena Defillo, one of the DRs most prestigious artists has made it his permanent residence, Jarabacoa is best known for its vibrant artist community with young talents inspired by the natural beauty of the region who produce attractive works of art at equally attractive prices.
Jarabacoa is the main gateway for adventure trips for those in good fit to Duarte Peak and the Septentrional Mountain Range, the highest in the Caribbean. But the 30-meter dropping Jimenoa Falls can be easily toured by visitors of all ages and abilities.
Small hotels in the town cater to helping tourists enjoy the best of nature.
