Location

A typical tropical destination that has a bit of everything.

The temperature in the Dominican Republic remains consistent at around 77°F (25°C) throughout the year, with generally sunny, tropical weather. Annual rainfall determines the change in seasons, rather than changes in the temperature. 

Because of the terrain and the elevation of the site, visitors will appreciate the temperature, as it is much cooler than you would find on the beach or in most North American summer mountain resorts.

The temperature difference between the summer and winter months is slight, and summer in the Dominican Republic is usually the low season for tourism. The country experiences its busiest tourist time from December through April.

Location & Site Context

700 acres of unspoilt natural beauty.

ParkVida is located on a former coffee plantation which includes an existing small settlement, called Loma Prieta, amidst the Dominican Republic’s highest elevations, in the Cordilla Central Mountain Range. The area falls within the Santiago Province and borders the Aramando Bermudez National Park.

Spread over 700 acres in the Cordillera Central mountain range, the ParkVida enclave features mountains, hills and valleys with rivers, and a mix of sparse and dense vegetation. These mountain ranges are the highest in all the Caribbean and host to an assortment of fruits and vegetables which grow wild across its terrain. 

Being in the Cordillera Mountain range, the topography consists of 80% red, clay-like dirt and 20% rock and rock formations. 

The elevation tops out at 6,233ft (1,900m). From the highest points, the terrain works its way to 1,968ft (600m) providing for 3,937ft (1,200m) of elevation.
