On the hard trodden path of the adventurous, it
is becoming increasing rare to discover the elusive prize that all of us seek: a
hidden corner of paradise, untouched and authentic. While paradise may be a
matter of personal preference, who could resist the charm of a rural Caribbean
village nestled within impossibly green mountains, and crisscrossed by abundant
streams and waterfalls? The wave of mass tourism to hit the Dominican Republic
has, thankfully, bypassed such a place. The visitor who ventures off the beaten
track of Santo Domingo-Puerto Plata-Samaná etc, and heads instead for the town
of Bonao, will receive just rewards for his curiosity.
Bonao is the gateway to "Los
Quemados", a sleepy village nestled in the foothills of
the Cordillera Central, a destination that remains a precious secret to those
few who have enjoyed its allure. It boasts spectacular views of the lush
mountain ridges as well as the clear freshwater River Yuma running through the
settlement. One could spend many peaceful days here merely enjoying the natural
beauty of the location and the warm hospitality of the Dominican campesinos. The
adventurous will find endless diversion and pleasure from mountain activities
such as horseback riding, trekking to waterfalls, and swimming in the countless
babbling streams and waterholes. Anything is possible, from hiring a motorbike
to explore the corkscrew roads, to setting up camp on a remote mountaintop. With
the rainy season over, now is a wonderful time to explore the unique appeal of
Los Quemados, Bonao..
