Generating enough power to keep a million light bulbs alight, or to illuminate 100,000 households, the 40 giant turbines at the Parque Eolico Los Cocos have become the latest tourism attraction in the southwest. The park is open for organized visits, where guides provide an explanation about the operation of the wind farm in a one-hour tour.
Using creativity, the wind farm has opened new opportunities for the community, in creating arts and crafts souvenirs with wind farm motifs including wooden models of the windmills.
On 6 April, the Second Mountain Bike Tour Juancho-Los Cocos will take place, organized by EGE Haina and the Dominican Cycling Federation (Fedoci). The tour will go through the wind farm, Juancho and Playa Los Cocos. To participate, call 809 565-5209, or email them at infoloscocos@egehaina.com
