From Puerto Plata, ride to the Chocó region for seven jungle zip lines, two suspension bridges, and a guided visit with squirrel monkeys.

“This was a great day out! An early pick up by runners adventures from the hotel at 7.15am and back by 2pm. Water was provided and coke with a cheeky splash of local rum for the trip back!. Very well organised and the ziplines were great. The 3rd one of 7 is the fastest and best and the scenery is stunning. The guides led by Usher ! were very safety conscious but good fun. The monkey jungle was fantastic. Dara an Irish zoologist led us down past the peacocks and rabbits sprawled out on the steps and gave a history of the place and loads of information on the squirrel…”
