We have three favorites itineraries:

BIKING - 9 DAY DOMINICAN ALPS: Voted tour of the month in Bicycling Magazine's February 2001 Issue

This incredible mountain bike tour starts and finishes at sea level. While traveling through some of the most scenic and unspoiled mountains in the world, our journey will take us to heights of 5,500ft. The hospitality of the Dominican campesinos quickly becomes evident as we cycle through their charming villages. Combining diverse and panoramic landscape with unique accommodations, this is truly a cyclist's paradise.


9 days Dominican Alps

BIKING - 12 DAY COAST TO COAST
