Any place in the world will have things to do. The D.R. is NOT just the A.I's and tourist areas. Some out of the way places that are not promoted tourist places are safe and have so much to offer. You just have to find them.
My wife and self trailer up into the hills and mountains with two horses and we ride for hours seeing areas that few expats see and meeting folks that live off the land. They are so warm and inviting when we stop What ever they have to offer IS offered.
We soon will do our first treck from the north coast to Jarabacoa. It has taken a couple of years (Yes it has) to put this riding trip together and make it work for riding in a great NON tourist area that we have visited on foot and car before. Very exciting for us.
I know many other non-tourist areas to visit and we hope to venture more soon but it does take some planning.
POINT. Plan and get OUT of the tourist areas, experience the remote areas and good people with a simple life but so much to show you.
No hot showers if they even have running water. Finding a room out in the middle of no-where can be done.
Bring coffee and sugar and you set.
Just sharing some thoughts tonight.
Sereno
