SD to Puerto Rico Ferry by polo1club

Has anyone gone on this ferry? It leaves from el Puerto off El Malecon to PR. If so how was it? Are you able to go shopping and bring it back? What is allowed to be brought back to DR? I am thinking it will be a nice getaway from DR to go shop in PR ...

Jennifer Storm Nelson

I'm curious about this too! I see the info on the site and also watched a YouTube video on it. I wonder if anyone uses it as a quick way to renew their visa if they're not a resident yet. Just take a short trip to PR for a couple days and return ... Read More

Hmmm not sure what trail we took. We drove quite aways up from Jarabacoa before reaching the park entrance. First day of hiking was through bamboo forests, not too much altitude. Second day the trail was steeper, along dry dusty switchbacks, before ... Read More

Jarabacoa by Launica

Does anyone have info about jarabacoa they could share? Population? Roads? Banks? Grocery stores? Services? Etc...

Jennifer Storm Nelson

Jarabacoa is a lovely town, weather-wise and otherwise. Forgive me, though, as it's been 20 years since I lived there!!! I lived in a more Dominican-style home, so it wasn't a target for thieves much. Just lost some underwear drying ... Read More
