We are looking at hiking July 7-9. We will be flying into Santo Domingo the morning of July 6 and flying back out July 11. We have not arranged any accommodations in Jarabacoa yet. From your website is sounds like we can stay at the camp base the night of July 6 if we decide not to book a hotel in Jarabacoa. There will be two of us hiking. We may be interested in reserving a transfer from Santo Domingo but not sure yet.

Hi,
we (4 persons) would love to do the 2,5 days hike. Is there any way to do it without the mules? We are prepared to carry the stuff, that the mules usually carry, that would be no problem.
Best regards,
Kathi
