The Treehouse includes: - solar electricity - hot water and shower - toilet - pillowtop queen mattress - propane cooktop (one burner) - dining area Located near the campsite, this is a private and peaceful tiny home in the middle of the Spirit Mountain coffee plantation. Perfect for a weekend getaway for two. Minimum two-night stay (US$90/night) Estancia Natura is an eco-tourism paradise in the heart of a 350-acre working coffee plantation, Spirit Mountain. Camp Spirit Discovery, our campsite, offers the basic necessities needed to enjoy time away from your normal day to day. The farm is at 4,000 feet above sea level so it gets cool at night. There are plenty of interesting and unique things to discover, including a secret waterfall, rare birds, and kilometers of trails. There is always plenty to learn about coffee for the curious. The road to the property is in pretty good shape, however once inside the farm, conditions can require a 4x4 vehicle during rain, which can be any time of the year. Our primary focus at Spirit Mountain is growing amazing coffee. However, we love having visitors and are always excited to share what we love to do with new friends. Our plantation manager, Delvie, is always eager to share about the coffee, and his wife, Rosa, is available to provide meals. This just needs to be coordinated at least a day prior to your visit to be sure we can accommodate your needs. (A plate of the day is RD$400/person). The property is very safe and we take great care to provide an ideal environment to experience the Caribbean mountains. Estancia Natura es un paraíso de ecoturismo en el corazón de una plantación de café en funcionamiento de 350 acres, Spirit Mountain. Camp Spirit Discovery, nuestro camping, ofrece las necesidades básicas necesarias para disfrutar de un tiempo fuera de su día a día normal. La finca está a 4,000 pies sobre el nivel del mar, por lo que hace fresco por la noche. Hay muchas cosas interesantes y únicas por descubrir, incluida una cascada secreta, aves raras y kilómetros de senderos. Siempre hay mucho que aprender sobre el café para los curiosos. El camino a la propiedad está en muy buenas condiciones, sin embargo, una vez dentro de la finca, las condiciones pueden requerir un vehículo 4x4 durante la lluvia, que puede ser en cualquier época del año. Nuestro enfoque principal en Spirit Mountain es cultivar un café increíble. Sin embargo, nos encanta recibir visitas y siempre estamos emocionados de compartir lo que nos encanta hacer con nuevos amigos. Nuestro gerente de plantación, Delvie, siempre está ansioso por compartir sobre el café, y su esposa, Rosa, está disponible para proporcionar comidas. Esto solo debe coordinarse al menos un día antes de su visita para asegurarse de que podamos satisfacer sus necesidades. (Un plato del día cuesta RD $ 400 / persona). La propiedad es muy segura y nos encargamos de brindar un ambiente ideal para experimentar las montañas del Caribe. Getting around A 4x4 vehicle is STRONGLY recommended. We receive a large amount of rain, which can make the roads difficult to navigate. There are a number of hiking trails all over the farm to enjoy. If you are new to the Dominican Republic, Spirit Mountain is located about 2 hours from Santiago de los Caballeros (which has an international airport). How to get there Finding Spirit Mountain can be a challenge! Follow the highway from Jarabacoa to Manabao. Once you pass the public school in Manabao, take the main dirt road to the right that leads you to Angostura. The creek will be on your left as you drive up towards the farm. (Keep looking for brown and white signs that point to Spirit Mountain.) Continue for 3 kilometers or so. The road will get continuously more 4x4 as you progress up the road. Cross over the bridge that goes over the creek and continue up the 4x4 road to the entrance of the coffee farm. Our property managers, Deivy and Rosa, live in the house just before the entrance. Stop and check in with them before continuing onto the property. Once inside the coffee farm, follow the main road up to the right to the campsite. If it has been raining, you will need a 4x4 vehicle to get in and out of the campsite. Airport: Cibao International Airport: 40.4 miles from Spirit Mountain Guests have access to much of the farm. There is a site map that provides the details to the main trails and areas of interest, as well as our many different lots of coffee. Feel free to explore, just be mindful not to get lost. Luckily, if you do get disoriented, just head downhill, all paths lead to the entrance of Spirit Mountain. Moverse Se recomienda ENCARECIDAMENTE un vehículo 4x4. Recibimos una gran cantidad de lluvia, lo que puede dificultar la navegación por las carreteras. Hay una serie de rutas de senderismo por toda la finca para disfrutar. Si eres nuevo en la República Dominicana, Spirit Mountain se encuentra a unas 2 horas de Santiago de los Caballeros (que tiene un aeropuerto internacional). Cómo llegar allá ¡Encontrar Spirit Mountain puede ser un desafío! Siga la carretera de Jarabacoa a Manabao. Una vez que pase la escuela pública en Manabao, tome el camino principal de tierra a la derecha que lo lleva a Angostura. El arroyo estará a su izquierda mientras conduce hacia la granja. (Siga buscando señales marrones y blancas que apunten a Spirit Mountain.) Continúe durante 3 kilómetros más o menos. La carretera se volverá continuamente más 4x4 a medida que avanza por la carretera. Cruce el puente que cruza el arroyo y continúe por la carretera 4x4 hasta la entrada de la finca cafetera. Nuestros administradores de propiedades, Deivy y Rosa, viven en la casa justo antes de la entrada. Deténgase y regístrese con ellos antes de continuar hacia la propiedad. Una vez dentro de la finca cafetera, siga la carretera principal hacia la derecha hasta el campamento. Si ha estado lloviendo, necesitará un vehículo 4x4 para entrar y salir del camping. Aeropuerto: Aeropuerto Internacional del Cibao: 64 km de Spirit Mountain Los huéspedes tienen acceso a gran parte de la finca. Hay un mapa del sitio que proporciona los detalles de los principales senderos y áreas de interés, así como nuestros diferentes lotes de café. Siéntete libre de explorar, solo ten cuidado de no perderte. Afortunadamente, si te desorientas, solo dirígete cuesta abajo, todos los caminos conducen a la entrada de Spirit Mountain. The farm is completely staffed for our coffee operations, and although our staff are generally busy with coffee, they are available to help out in any way they can. Spirit Mountain is located just at the outskirts of the National Park, at the foothills to Pico Duarte. At just over 10,000 ft, this is the tallest peak in the DR and in the entire Caribbean and Easter seaboard of North America. Although it is possible to get to Spirit Mountain via Public Transportation, I would not recommend this, unless you are completely fluent in Spanish and do not mind a very long hike. Our Farm is on (Hidden by Airbnb) Maps, and there are several signs that will help direct you from Manabao, the nearest town. As a reminder, it can rain VERY hard in the tropics and at this elevation, it does tend to get pretty chilly in the evenings so pack the appropriate clothing. Please bring a blanket or two for your bed. Bring all the food you will need for your stay at Spirit Mountain. The last grocery store can be found in Jarabacoa, 12 km before arriving in Manabao. Please pack out ALL trash when you leave to head back home. No smoking allowed inside the Treehouse. Como recordatorio, puede llover MUY fuerte en los trópicos y, a esta altura, tiende a hacer bastante frío por las noches, así que empaca la ropa adecuada. Por favor traiga una manta o dos para su cama. Traiga toda la comida que necesitará para su estadía en Spirit Mountain. La última tienda de abarrotes se encuentra en Jarabacoa, 12 km antes de llegar a Manabao. Empaque TODA la basura cuando salga para regresar a casa. No se permite fumar dentro de la casa del árbol.
