Our dynamic ropes course is a great opportunity for groups and individuals of
all ages to safely learn about risk-taking, their own perceived limits, how they
perform under pressure, how they give and receive support from other people, and
how working with others collaboratively can help an individual achieve more than
they thought they could accomplish. Put on a harness, climb up the ladder to the
first platform, clip into the safety cable, and begin your passage. Overcome the
various obstacles and challenges until reaching the final platform. At last,
clip into the zip line and slide 250 feet down to the end of the course.

This hike or ride winds out of Rancho Wendy through Los
Quemados and along the river to an incredibly original bridge. Depending on the
route you take, this trip can be longer or shorter. The longer path includes
passing through a little mountain town in the surrounding hills where Chocolate
production is the main source of income. Both trails include meandering paths
through the luscious jungles, and if your timing is right don’t forget to look
for the local passion fruit for a fresh snack! After stretching your legs a
little or just when your rear is ready for a break you’ll find yourself at a
pool fed by a beautiful waterfall. You may say that all waterfalls are
beautiful and you are pretty much correct! However, not all falls are great
water slides as well! If you are with a daring guide and feeling adventurous
yourself you can boulder up the cliffs along the serious of multiple falls. At
the top of which you will find a much longer cascade: slide down, jump off the
next two and finish with a slide down the first or a dive off the cliff next to
it.
"Personally, the adrenaline from that serious adventure
had me high all day. Doing flips off the falls with the local boys was one of
the best adventures I’ve found in the Dominican Republic!"

Tour Pico Duarte
Discover the Caribbean, Discover
Yourself
Experience the trek of distinctive landscape, virtually untouched by tourism,
to the highest mountain in the Caribbean, Pico Duarte. 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 Hispañiolan
Parrot, Hispañiolan Woodpecker, White-necked Crow, Hispañiolan 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.
