Bayaguana Runners is a full‑day, all‑inclusive guided cultural adventure into the Monte Plata countryside: you’ll move from sugarcane fields and colorful villages to a typical Dominican home for coffee, cacao and tropical fruits, stroll the streets of Bayaguana and its age‑old parish, then swim beneath the clear cascades at Salto Alto before a Dominican buffet at Salto Alto Ranch.
