Barahona is located in the southwestern coast of the Dominican Republic. The people are friendly and down to earth and the scenery is spectacular. There are dry deserts and lush forests. There are fresh, clear mountain streams and wild and beautiful beaches. It is a paradise only seen by few tourists and well worth the visit. Read more in Dominican Republic Road Trips – Baharona.
