Jarabacoa Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Jarabacoa is in the Dominican Republic. It's a good gateway to explore the nearby mountain range and to set up a hike to Pico Duarte.

    Get in

    [edit]

    Caribe tours bus (2.5 hours) every 2-3 hours from their terminal in Santo Domingo. About DP$500. If coming from or going to the north, you need to change bus in La Vega.

    Get around

    [edit]

    Motorcycle taxis are the most common form of transportation, though the local buses to La Vega double as taxis when not on duty.

    Do

    [edit]
    • Monastery Waterfalls
    • El Magote trek, 1000 m elevation gain, about 3-4 hours from the trail head. On top, there is a clearing, a few buildings and antenna mast, with a local fire watcher stationed. Streneous, but perfectly doable if reasonably fit. If it has been raining heavily recently, be prepared for very muddy trail. You can take a taxi or motoconcho (around DP$200) to trail head, or walk it. It is about 1.5 hours walk to trail head from central Jarabacoa.
    • Jaraventura, a local adventure sports company running rafting, canyoning and tubing trips on the Rio Yaque del Norte. Rafting costs about US$55. For other excursions, see their webpage.
