Day 1
- Fly into Santiago and be greeted by the MotoCaribe Staff. After your first taste of Dominican food, drive to Jarabacoa for a relaxing evening at your resort.
Day 2
- “Get to Know Your Steed” Day. Get comfortable on your V-Strom 650 and ride through the tropical Dominican Alps, blasting around Jarabacoa and its breathtaking vistas, mountain roads and Jurassic Park-like waterfalls. Along the way, you tour an organic coffee processor, lunch in a quaint mountainside resort and enjoy multiple photo-ops to share with the folks back home.
Day 3
- “The Adventure Begins.” After getting acquainted with your V-Strom 650, you rally through mountains and valleys to the nearly-hidden waterfront village of Las Salinas on a narrow peninsula snuggled between a bay and the Caribbean Sea. Along the journey, you’ll see the vegetation morph from tropical green to desert arid. Dinner is served on the veranda overlooking the yacht basin. Simply magnificent!
Day 4
- “Into the Desert.” You’ll blast further into the only desert in the Caribbean. After breakfast you hike up immense sand dunes in a National Park. Once back on the road, you’ll venture onto a mountain road for lunch and a quick swim at a mountain ”rancho” and experience a strange place that gravity “forgot”…where your bike rolls uphill on its own! Your destination is the bustling town of Barahona where you’ll be greeted with tropical drinks at your sea-front resort. Dinner is a buffet of Dominican specialties.
Day 5
- “Loop of the Lake.” A fascinating day of amazing riding as you circumnavigate Lago Enriquillo, a salt lake 141 ft. below sea level in the largest true desert in the Caribbean. The road is a riders’ dream as you blast through miles of salt flats, rocky mountain passes and sugar cane fields. Todays stops include a quick hike into Haiti for a stroll through a border market, a BBQ cook-out lunch in an real oasis, ancient cave carvings, and a National Park where giant endangered iguanas scurry around like hungry kittens. A scrumptious dinner buffet ends a fantastic day.
Day 6
- “THIS is Adventure Touring!” Many of our riders have claimed this is their single greatest motorcycling experience of their lives, an epic adventure of pure motorcycling awesomeness and a day you will never forget. You’ll rally south along the majestic hills next to the Caribbean Sea for miles…think Pacific Coast Highway…through quaint seaside villages, then blast down a frontier National Park road ending in the border town of Pedernales.
- You’ll ride fantastic hard-packed desert roads to a tiny seaside village. There you’ll feast on a scrumptious seafood lunch in quaint thatch-roof restaurant just feet from the postcard-perfect blue sea. Bring your swim suit, because you’ll want to frolic in the idealic Caribbean Sea. This is living large, MotoCaribe style, and you will NOT want to leave!
- And the best part? You get to ride those spectacular roads back to the resort!
Day 7
- “Back into the Valley.” You get a lot of seat time today as your adventure leads back to the mountains of Jarabacoa. But before you get back, you take a ride up a wide, smooth 4000′ mountain road toward Constanza with switchbacks, curves and elevation changes galore for what many have described as THE best mountain road they have EVER ridden in their lives! A long riding day ends with a Farewell Dinner in downtown Jarabacoa where you enjoy the energy of this marvelous town.
Day 8
- We say our “hasta luego” and “buena vieja” as our van takes you to Santiago International Airport for your departing flights, knowing you’ll be back!
