The sun tilts toward the Caribbean and Montaña Redonda opens like a broad stage: wind picking at grass, a single-track 4x4 route rising through dry forest, and a view that lets you read the coastline in degrees — Samaná Bay to the north, Laguna Redonda and Rincón to the west, the low-rise sugarlands of El Seibo to the east.

Time it for sunset
