# Driving to Jarabacoa? Stop here

Halfway into the mountains, 5 minutes off the Autopista Duarte: lunch, a pool, a river and cabins in Piedra Blanca, Bonao.

## The route

From Santo Domingo, the Autopista Duarte runs north through Monseñor Nouel province, past Piedra Blanca and Bonao, to La Vega, where the mountain roads to Jarabacoa begin. Constanza is usually reached from the same highway. Tony Ranch sits about an hour from Santo Domingo, 5 minutes off the Piedra Blanca exit.

## Why stop

- Break the drive with lunch under the ranch’s thatched pavilion.
- Let the kids swim in the pool or the river before the curvy mountain roads.
- Arriving late? Stay the night in a cabin and finish the drive in daylight.

## Also on the way: Ébano Verde

If you take the Casabito road from Bonao toward Constanza, you pass the Ébano Verde Scientific Reserve, a protected cloud forest with short trails.
