It’s simple, really, to fall into the confines of a location teeming with resorts and little else than and a jungle-land. That’s why many who travel to the Dominican Republic in search of adventure beyond the mountainous resorts and five-star dining will inevitably find it at their hotel’s front desk; on colorful little slips of paper. These brochures are a gateway to the real Dominican, the on your rarely see in the faux-gardens and tropically-themed water parks of the country’s lavish resorts.

Cabarete, a sleepy little beach village twenty minutes from Puerta Plata Airport, is one such gateway. From an aerial view and juxtaposed against a gentrified town like Punta Cana, the two are strikingly dissimilar. While one offers all the feverish qualities, the hustle and bustle, of a city of hotels and clubs, the other is merely a conservative scatter of beach chairs and subtle buildings. Cabarete rests on the Northern shores of the Dominican and is a figurative one-stop shop for land and water activities.

The location inhabits a rotund just of oat-colored beach, almost immediately severed by a thick stretch of trees and brush. It’s an image inspired only by the quintessential tropical island theme.

In Cabarete, visitors not only get the opportunity to experience all the classic watersports including surfing, wind-surfing and, because of the playful nature of the area’s trade winds, kite-surfing&mdashan increasingly popular sport that sees its participants wafting up into the air and plummeting back down to the ocean’s surface with little more than a board and giant kite.

The tiny village also offers what is the highlight of the location’s activities, horse back riding. The horses are small, the guides speak fractured English, and the trail follows rocky and inclined gradient, but the peak, however, is what Cabarete locals refer to as “Paradiso”, or “Heaven.” Once reached, tourists are greeted with prolific views out and over the town and ocean, and the chance to sample the region’s indigenous fruits.

If your vice is adventure and the only fill you know stems from life-enriching thrill, Cabarete, although a small trek from the Punta Cana hotels, is where you’ll discover true satisfaction.
