The Dominican Republic should be your next Caribbean destination.
At Rancho Wendy, your adventure is made up of a number of special experiences, both large and small. You will be enthralled with the handsome mountains, spectacular views, historic sites and quaint towns. 
The seed for Rancho Wendy began in 1990 when the owner Marshall Zipper and his wife Ramona gave birth to a daughter - Wendy. Shortly after, they decided to set up a small ranch on a bare property in the small, mountain retreat town of Los Quemados. Since then, it has grown to offer excellent food, inexpensive lodging, excellent tours and, perhaps most importantly, personal service from an old friend.
 Equal to these larger sensations will be your memory of the bright taste of a mango you just picked; the friendliness of the owner of a general store; visiting a Dominican home and sampling her coffee; getting to know folks in your group; enjoying the sounds of the stream while sleeping at the ranch; riding a bike or a horse; hiking on a forested trail; seeing animals on the edge of a pasture in the evening; listening to the clatter of the brook, soothing your feet in the flow of a brook; feeling satisfied at the end of the day's ride; or taking an evening stroll along a quiet dirt road.
 Part of the experience is also in the absence of things such as cell phones, billboards, decisions, cars, and bustle. The hiking or horseback riding is all at your own pace, but so is everything else. We do the organizing, the planning and the lugging. You enjoy yourself.
