I'm planning a trip to the DR and would like to spend my time in the mountains, rather than on the beach. What would be the best area to head to? I've read a lot about Jarabacoa and that sounds nice. What about further south? Would there be places to stay in the mountains closer to Lago Enriquillo?

Jarabacoa

I would cast my vote for Jarabacoa. It is the most beautiful place in the universe! The best people in the world live there. Everyone is friendly and if you want a relaxed, refreshing time--that is the place. Good luck.

Jarabacoa

We just hiked to the waterfall a week ago & it is absolutely gorgeous. Its a great example of the topographical diversity of this beautiful island !

I prerfer Constanza - higher up in the moutains and some spectacular scenery. Try taking the road to San Jose de Ocoa - I once got a motoconcho driver to take me to El Monumento (geographic centre of the country) the views up there are great. Constanza has some good hotels and restaurants.

Southwards access to the moutains is more difficult.
