Spirit Mountain

Spirit Mountain's Ecological Reserve and Organic Coffee Plantation is nestled high in the foot hills of the Cordillera Central Mountain Range. The Farm is located at at the far reaches of Angostura de Manabao, approximately 15 miles from Jarabacoa, 3 miles beyond Manabao. This is rugged land and unpaved roads, so if your not up for an adventure, you may not want to venture this far into the mountains of Hispaniola. We are an operating Coffee Plantation...not a tourist attraction. During a visit, you are likely to see typical operations related to producing some of the worlds best coffees. Harvesting season is from January through April, if you would like to try your hand at picking coffee. Learn about sustainable organic farming first hand, see the rarest endemic birds of Hispaniola or just kickback up at our rustic camp site, Camp Spirit Discovery. During the off season, our crews will be planting coffee, taking care of the shade canopy and performing general farm maintenance. We cater to those interested in more than just a vacation. The farm is open all day every day for self guided yours. The farm is on google maps, and you can check in with Rosa, the plantation manager's wife. Their house is directly in front of the farm on the right hand side of the road, about 100 meters from the farm entrance. if you let Rosa know a couple of hours in advance, she will prepare you a typical lunch, with some of our fresh roasted coffee! It is easy to spend an entire day trekking around the farm and only experience a small portion of what there is to see. Be prepared for a challenging drive up to the farm. Recent improvements to the 700 meter long access road makes the property "almost" 2 wheel drive accessible. If your interested in spending a night or more at Spirit Mountain, there are VERY rustic accommodations at Camp Spirit Discovery, located at an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet. It can get pretty chilly at these elevations, especially in the winter months, so bring plenty of warm clothes. There is a rustic kitchen complete with running water and a wood fired bread oven. Bring your own sleeping bags, but there are some mattresses in the two story open bungalows. If you would like more comfortable accommodations, there is a great little eco-lodge run by the community that has hot water and they will prepare you meals if you like. This is great way to get to know the locals! Come learn with us! You will leave changed.

Amazing camping experience. I was trying to find a place where I could bring my wife and kids for camping. My wife don't like the wilderness at all. I'm a camping enthusiast. Spirit Mountain was the ideal place. 2km deep in the most beautiful mountains of Manabao. You get by car right to the camping site and have all the basics facilities. The walk to the Salto Secreto was amazing, full of nature to find at the end the most beautiful waterfall. There is also a course for downhill mountain bikes, pretty cool too. Cant leave the place without taking your picture on the swing and buying some of ther coffee. SUV is highly recommended. The average temp was about 12-14 Celsius in the evening. during the day 20-22.

Pico Duarte

Reviewed By RamblingRon69 - Hereford, United Kingdom

I arrived at the trailhead with the intention of climbing to the summit but a lot of arrangements had to be made first. I teamed up with a German guy who spoke English and we booked a guide and his donkey! It was a two-day trek and we reached the summit at 0600hrs because that was the best time to witness the glorious sunrise. Sadly, the clag was down and we couldn't see a bloody thing. On the way down, I suffered an accident when part of the track gave way and I fell about six feet, landing on my side and back and as I found out much later, I'd broken three ribs. I couldn't walk so they got me back to base on the donkey and I swear that I remember every step that the bloody animal took. A painful experience but one that I wouldn't have changed for the world!
