i got confused with jimenoa 1 and 2 .... so is the path with bridges back or not at the hydroplant waterfall (4th time lucky)

Hydroplant Waterfall with the bridges = Jimenoa II

No Bridges--camino Constanza (backside of Jimenoa 2) = Jimenoa I

"En Jarabacoa esta dios...."

I hate hiking so I don't know what trails. When I don't spent time at my Uncles Summer House I usually just drive around and look at all the Chalets up there. You have ALOT of nice houses over there and Jarabacoa is just as beautiful as the English countryside. Maybe even more so.

i've heard there is a good new restaurant up on the jamaca de dios project (out past la colonia)... i've heard the food is good (i haven't eaten there yet), but i have been up there and i know the view is breathtaking.

Jimenoa I is fully repaired and should be great. It is an easy hike.

Jimenoa is II is great too, but what goes down must come up. It is quite a hike back up. The trail is marked for plants and has some point of interest signs in multiple languages. This is a community effort to bring tourism, three cheers for that!

Both have entrance fees, but are cheap.

Hamaca de Dios housing project has a resaurant. It is excellent and the view of the valley is incredible. I took my folks there when they visited the DR. It is open Thursday through Sunday. On the weekends you can watch hang-gliders descending into Jarabacoa valley.

I have never climbed Magote, but I here it is very steep and seriously slippery if it has rained in the last few days.

Hope that helps.
