I am trying to organize a 3-day tour from SD to the South-East by car for my next visit in July. Since I have never been there on one of my previous trips I have plenty of questions:
* What type of car do I need? 4x4, or will I have to take a guided tour in a 4x4x in the park anyway and doesn't it make a difference?
* What would you say are the 'must see' in that area in 3-days time? I read something about taino caves and flamingos in Laguna Oviedo, the beach at Bahia de las Aguilas, Cabo Rojo, Polo Magnetico..
* Can you access these beaches coming from Pedernales or is this still Alcoa property?
* What is the best place to look for accomodation in the area? Pedernales? or along the coastline south of Barahona?
* As I have read that this is very arid land, is it OK to do this on a hot and sunny day in July or should I wait for some clouds in the sky?
Thanks for any info.
