Description

The route to the community calls "El Tetero" from the Community "Los Frios" right in the middle of the Dominican Republic.

This trail is excellent. The route is pretty accessible for hikers, runners, cyclists, and even pickups. The weather is fantastic, and the views are breathtaking.

The points of significant difficulty are the steep grades. Sometimes they're unavoidable but especially when you're half of the way to "El Tetero," where the grade greatly increases.
