You step out into the mountain air of Anamuya and the sound of the river dares you to slow down. Dust lifts under your buggy tires, jungle scents press close, and the first zip line waits like a wire stretched across the valley, urging you forward.

You step out into the mountain air of Anamuya and the sound of the river dares you to slow down. Dust lifts under your buggy tires, jungle scents press close, and the first zip line waits like a wire stretched across the valley, urging you forward.
This full-day loop combines three distinct experiences: off-road buggies through Anamuya’s rounded ridges and riverbeds, a 12-cable ACCT-certified zipline circuit that was the country’s first, and a guided visit to Monkeyland where tame squirrel monkeys move near hands and shoulders. The region sits in La Altagracia province—limestone foothills, fast-draining soils, and small rivers carved into short, steep valleys. Local culture centers on small farming communities that still press coconut oil and roast cacao; a coconut house demonstration is a practical window into that tradition.
Expect varied terrain: soft trails, occasional rocky steps, and shallow river crossings where you can swim or relax on river stones. Guides provide safety briefings, full zipline harnesses, and a short driving lesson; drivers must bring a valid license and have at least a year of experience. The tour includes bottled water and a Dominican lunch—heavy on rice, beans, plantain, and fresh fruit—so plan for heat and sun exposure.
Practical tips: arrive with closed-toe shoes and swimwear, bring biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent, and secure loose items before zipping. Weather can shift quickly in the tropics; if rain comes, zipline ops may pause. Stick to guide instructions around the monkeys and you’ll leave with photos, an adrenaline spike, and a better sense of rural life in eastern Hispaniola.

Yes—the zipline minimum is about 20 kg (44 lbs) and maximum is 127 kg (280 lbs); buggies also have safe load limits enforced by guides.
A typical Dominican lunch is included; notify the operator ahead of time for common dietary restrictions and they will try to accommodate you.
The operator may cancel or pause zipline runs and river activities if conditions are unsafe; cancellations more than 24 hours ahead are refundable per policy.
Anamuya’s ridgelines and small farms reflect a long history of coconut and cacao cultivation; the zipline circuit was established early by Costa Rican builders bringing canopy tourism techniques to the DR.
Interactions are guided to limit stress on animals; visitors should avoid single-use plastics, follow trail rules, and not feed wildlife to reduce human-wildlife conflicts.
