CONSTANZA:
Located in a beautiful circular valley - 90 km southeast
of Santiago and 140 km northeast of Santo Domingo - you'll come
upon the beautiful mountain valley town of Constanza.
Created by a meteor millions of years ago, this
fertile valley has made farming a stronghold since the Tainos
inhabited the Dominican Republic. In addition to traditional Dominican
agricultural activities, this is where strawberries, raspberries,
apples and an incredible variety of flowers are grown.
Visitors to this area will enjoy some of the Dominican Republic's
most beautiful hiking trails and marvelous sunsets.
JARABACOA:
The city of Jarabacoa is situated in the valley
of Jarabacoa, 500 meters above sea level, in the heart of the
mountains called the Cordillera Central. It is known as the region
of eternal spring. Pleasant temperatures, the longest river in
the Caribbean (North Yaque River, 300 kilometers), impressive
waterfalls, and the nearness of the highest mountains in the Antilles
including Pico Duarte at 3,187 meters, have converted Jarabacoa
into a place that is unique in the hemisphere.
Get out of the routine, come with us to the mountain
town of Jarabacoa and enjoy an exciting adventure either on horseback
or 4x4 Jeeps. Visit Baiguate's exciting waterfall, also visit
the place where a part of the exquisite Dominican Coffee is made,
and get an impresive view of the sanctuary of the "Santo Cerro"
