There is a road that does this...anyone know how it is. It goes through Rancho Arriba, and Nizao, and I would like to drive it.

Piedra Blanca to San Jose de Ocoa
Haven't been out that way in a long time.wil said:There is a road that does this...anyone know how it is. It goes through Rancho Arriba, and Nizao, and I would like to drive it.

You may need a specialized vehicle, if not a burro.

I seem to recall one of the board members here telling a funny story about this trip fairly recently. It's a drive I've been thinking about as well. The travel guides say the views are spectacular but the road is terrible, and a 4 wheel drive is recommended.
Thanks Sweetdbt
I will probably try it next month. Sounds like a slow ride, but that's ok.

Try it from the south
A couple of months back I drove from Bani to Nizao going thru San Jose de Ocoa (nice little town) and the road was fine between Bani and Ocoa and only slightly worse to Nizao but not bad at all....I don't know how bad it gets after Nizao to Piedra Blanca but having a 4wd vehicle will make the going easier and safer....I drove my regular sedan all the way and it was no problem....great and varied scenery from arid desert-like to deep green forest and from flat to mountainous.

This board is great...thanks. Ideally, I would rent an SUV, but the cost is quite abit more, I will probably just drive very slow if I do this road.
WHAT a country for exploring! Wish I had the resources to make it a fulltime adventure.
