After around 2 hours walking up, following a trail, you can look around to observe and taste avocado, oranges, lemons, mangos, papayas, zapotes, guayabas, passion fruits and many others.
After reaching the highest point (at about 800 meters up), we will start walking across a plantation, the trail stays under the shade of the coffee plants, but everywhere around you can observe bananas, beans, papayas, yuccas and much more.
In the afternoon, after lunch, we will cross others farm in the mountains and then we will start going all the way down the hills until reaching the Nizaito river.
Where the trail meets with the river, we can enjoy a king size natural swimming pool which is also the best playground for the children living around.
Finally we will follow the river downhill until the village of Paraíso, after walking through the small villages of Platón and Villa Nizaito, where Haitians and Dominicans families will be happy to meet with you.
