More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The dirt road pitches and twists until the valley drops away and Montaña Redonda’s summit opens like a natural observation deck. Wind tugs at the grass; a swing hangs over the void and dares you to lean back. From this rim you can pick out Bahía de Samaná to the north, Laguna Redonda and Laguna Rincón beneath you, and the patchwork lowlands that lead toward El Limón and the town of Miches.
