Jarabacoa, Republica Dominicana
Jarabacoa :
Jarabacoa is recognized as The Endless Spring City, the
birthplace of the Dominican Republic's ecotourism industry. Situated in
the mountains of the Central Cordillera, Jarabacoa is a great place for
long horseback rides through beautiful pine trees. Although it can drop
to 45 F (7 C) in winter, Jarabacoa nearly always has a pleasant
temperature from 60 to 75 degrees F (16-22 C).
Locals call this
steady climate the "city of eternal spring," which is perfect for
growing strawberries and flowers. Jarabacoa is a populated place and is
located in La Vega, Dominican Republic with a population of 29983
habitants. The estimate terrain elevation above seal level is 532 metres.
Variant forms of spelling for Jarabacoa or in other languages:
Харабакоа (ru), Jarabacoa, Jarabacoa, Kharabakoa, Харабакоа. You can

However, there is much more than just relaxing to be done in
Jarabacoa. With three rivers flowing nearby, Baiguate, Jimenoa and the
Yaque del Norte, there is plenty of adventure to be found. These are
particularly popular because of their level-two rapids. Here, you can
float down in tubes, white water raft, or even rappel down vertically.
If you prefer to stay dry, people also love to go mountain
biking here. In fact, tourists are able to bike down the same path that
was used for the 2003 Pan American games that crossed through Jarabacoa.
Jarabacoa is the main gateway to the mountains of
the Central Cordillera: Pico Duarte, La Pelona and La Rusilla. They are
so tall, that they are known as the Dominican Alps. The fastest route
brings you two miles above sea level by arriving at Pico Duarte and
going through Manabao.
The road to Manabao passes by the
Jarabacoa River Club, a center that is equipped with giant pools, sports
fields and restaurants serving Creole cuisine.
On Sundays in
Jarabacoa it is tradition to attend the 9:00 a.m. Mass at the Cistercian
Monastery of Santa María de Evangelio, which is located on the highway
to Manabao.
