Central Cordillera & Dominican Mountains
Fresh air, adventures, and spectacular scenery
The Central Mountain Range is the green lung of the Dominican Republic. Here, the high altitude brings cool temperatures and spectacular terrain, perfect for hiking, visiting waterfalls, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Around Jarabacoa and Constanza, the landscapes alternate between forests, agricultural valleys, and coffee plantations. Higher up, Pico Duarte—the highest peak in the Caribbean at 3,087 meters—attracts seasoned hikers. The region also charms visitors with its charming hotels and hearty local cuisine. At Terra Dominicana, these stops are true favorites.
