Where Rancho Baiguate sits and where we stop
Rancho Baiguate is an adventure-tourism lodge on the Río Baiguate, known for rafting trips and the nearby Baiguate falls, reached by a short unpaved access road off the main route into Jarabacoa. That last stretch is the one part of the journey that is not paved highway, so the driver takes it slowly with luggage in the back rather than treating it as a shortcut. Overall it is still the standard 60 to 80 minutes from STI, mostly on the mountain road.
