As usual, there are gringo prices and local prices, depending who you ask.

My Dominican secretary phoned Rancho Baiguate (574-6890) directly yesterday and was quoted the price of RD$1,085, which includes breakfast, river rafting and lunch. Transportation from and to your hotel not included.

Metro Tours sometimes runs tours leaving from Santo Domingo and they charge RD$1,600 (accordingly to their ad in El Caribe newspaper yesterday ) and that includeds round-trip bus transportation.

If you book indirectly through your resort staff, you are likely to pay US$80-100 per head. I found out because I spoke to a Brit (a vast majority of tourists visiting Jarabacoa seems to be British !) on my bus last time I was there and he told me he paid US$90 !


Enjoy your trip !
