Dominican Republic mountain town in the Cordillera Central at 530m elevation — the "City of Eternal Spring" with a cool year-round climate notably different from the coastal DR. The town center and the rural valley around the Yaque del Norte river anchor the loose walkable structure. DR has no DNV; tourist tarjeta (30-day visa-on-arrival, extendable up to 1 year). The structural draws are highland-temperate climate (15-25°C year-round), gateway access to Pico Duarte (the Caribbean's highest peak, 3,098m), and river-rafting on the Yaque del Norte (the Caribbean's longest river).
