Very good experience is worth it, if you are a hiker it will be a super experience, I recommend to go comfortable you can dawn up if you go in the afternoon take a campaign house and down the next day, a spectacular view of day and more night excellent and very cool the atmosphere in the early morning. The forest guard a great human being, point to improving the watch tower is in the state.

It is a place for hiking with an average degree of danger. It is a walk with very sinuous spaces and with ravines. You have to have a lot of care with the shoes you wear, that you don't tighten, also with the amount of weight you wear, you can be surprised that when you get up you get too tired. Nature is exuberant all the way. We have to take enough water but with little weight, as the journey is about two and a half hours to the top. The place we went up is by the entrance of the monastery in Jarabacoa. It is a place for hiking with a medium degree of danger. It is a walk with very winding roads and ravines spaces. You have to be very careful with the shoes you wear, that does not squeeze your toes, also with the amount of weight you carry, you may be surprised when climbing you get too tired. Nature is exuberant throughout the journey. You have to bring enough water but with little weight, since the crossing is around two and a half hours to the top.

Trail El Mogote, Jarabacoa. Easy access from the city of Jarabacoa. To reach the monastery the road has a steep slope all type of vehicle can access, although the best is 4x4. Safe parking in the monastery. Drying back and forth the same easy way to guide yourself along the path itself, although there are some sections that the weed is grabbing it, but they are short sections. Difficulty Average Time: If you're going at a good rate you can make it comfortable in 3:00 hours. The view, is not the big thing, most of the trail runs through large vegetation which does not allow to appreciate the valley, the view on the top is beautiful (although it does not stop being the typical view). PD: *You can go at any time because there is shade all the time, the sun will not bother much. *Take water and some snack. Don't let go.
