Mirador del Cerro El Morro (Loma de Cabrera)

Mirador del Cerro El Morro in Loma de Cabrera serves up 360° views of the Dajabón Valley, the Cordillera Central, and the border line. Catching the sunset up here is a ritual: the sun turns the rice paddies to gold and the Dajabón River snakes below. Bring water, comfy shoes, and your camera; the only things breaking the cool breeze and silence are birdsong. You can drive most of the way, then it's a short hike. Perfect for panoramic shots and unplugging in Monte Cristi.

From the top of Cerro El Morro you command the valley where the Dajabón River rises and can see the border line. A strategic point during the Restoration War, today it's the natural balcony where locals and visitors go to watch the sunset, catch a breeze, and feel the living history of the frontier.
