Montaña Redonda
A dome-shaped hill near Miches, famous for its hilltop swing and broom “flying” photos, with views over two lagoons and the Atlantic.
Montaña Redonda lies southeast of the town of Miches, between Laguna Redonda and Limón Lagoon. The summit, about 300 metres above sea level, offers 360-degree views of both lagoons, Samaná Bay and the coastline. Swings, hammocks and broom props are set up on top, and taking “flying” photos is a signature activity on social media. Reaching the top requires a local four-wheel-drive vehicle (about US$5–10), and admission costs about 200–300 pesos (check on site). It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Bávaro and is often combined with Playa Esmeralda in Miches as a day trip. The summit has no shade and is very windy, so protect yourself from the sun.
