the Ascent of Pico Duarte
Dominican Republic
Pico Duarte Ascent. At 10,700 feet, this is the Caribbean's
highest peak. Because of the extreme distance between the main
campsites, the hike requires a blistering pace more akin to a run
than a walk. For this reason, some people make part of the ascent
on foot and part on the back of a mule. The mountain scenery is
striking and well worth the effort. The real lure is to stand on
the region's tallest mountain. Level 5 difficulty.
