Unless it's changed radically in the last 10 yrs, the horsebacking riding and whitewater rafting in Jarabacoa are anything but risky, but they are enjoyable. Some great vistas.
How about visiting Julia Alvarez's organic coffee finca? I hear it's quite nice.
It's been a long time (too long!) since I was last in Jarabacoa, but I used to enjoy just sitting in the main plaza with an Helados Bon chatting with the locals and people watching. Some of the nicest Dominicans I've ever met. Never treated me like a tourist (which I wasn't, I lived in the DR at the time and spoke fluent Spanish, but on N Coast, Boca Chica, Bayahibe, etc most Dominicans still assumed I was a tourist and talked to me as such until they found out differently).
