Happenings in the Zone – June / Junio 2014

June is the month with the longest daylight hours of the year. The heat and humidity are starting to get unbearable, especially in the city. It will just get worse for the next few months. So get out of the house. Go to the mountains of Dominican Republic where you can cool off naturally.

San Cristobal river and mountains. Cool and refreshing.
