Mountain Roadway near Los Brazos, Dominican Republic
A winding mountain roadway in the eastern Dominican Republic cuts through lush tropical hillsides near the rural communities of Los Brazos and La Majagua in the El Seibo province. The wet pavement and reflective guardrails suggest a recent passing rain, a common occurrence in this humid, mountainous region known for its microclimates and dramatic vegetation changes. These hillside roads are vital connectors between interior farming settlements and coastal markets, often serving traffic ranging from motorcycles and produce trucks to occasional tourist excursions. Native trees and flowering plants cling to the embankment, typical of the region’s mix of hardwoods, palms, and secondary forest growth following decades of agricultural clearing.
