Visiting Pico Duarte is a must do. If you have the stamina, you can reach Pico Duarte in hikes that last from 2-7 days. You'll have no idea you're in the Caribbean with vast pine forests and freezing temperatures.
Also, make a day or two stop in the Tetero Valley - a fertile valley with a clear, cold water river, Taino drawings and jaw-dropping scenery.
