In the heart of the Cordillera Central region of the Dominican Republic, stunning vistas await your arrival. A 3-day trek with pack mules will take you 3,175 meters above sea level through lush rain forests laden with giant fronds, rooted banyon trees, and villagers pounding coffee, washing clothes, and driving teams of enormous oxen. These dense tropical forests are also home to such rare birds as the Hispaņiolan Parrot, Hispaņiolan Woodpecker, White-necked Crow, Hispaņiolan Trogon, the Red-tailed Hawk, wild boar, and 47 reported amphibians and reptiles. Twelve major rivers rush through this glorious landscape, including the two largest rivers in the Caribbean.
Although less than two hours from Miami and in the very heart of the Caribbean, the summit of Pico Duarte is often covered with frost and is not uncommon in the winter months to reach temperatures of 18 F or -8 C. For those who accept the challenge and make this spectacular adventure to the pinnacle of Pico Duarte, the reward is truly unforgettable, as you discover the undiscovered. Exploration in this exotically stunning landscape is all about discovering yourself.
