Jarabacoa
The Alps of the Caribbean
About
Jarabacoa
At 500 meters above sea level, Jarabacoa shatters every expectation of what a Caribbean retreat can be. Morning mists roll through pine-covered valleys, temperatures hover around a perfect 22°C, and the sound of rushing rivers replaces the crash of ocean waves. This is where deep inner work happens — meditation retreats find focus in the mountain silence, adventure groups challenge themselves with river rafting and canyoning, and coffee plantation visits ground attendees in the culture of the Dominican highlands.
