I did the entire area last year and actually wrote a report here about it ,,From Bavaro or from Higuey to Miches it is easy ..but from Miches all the way to Sabana de la mar there is an army of trucks and dozers and earthmoving equipment and road making equipment..My Ford Edge had to take it slowly . As for going up the mountain at Miches that was noot too bad when I did it but I would definitely not do that short trip now,,even for the sensational view. It really is a very special and wondeful part of the DR .
