Include San Rafael in a day devoted to Barahona’s coastal stops. Its combination of shoreline and fresh water offers a change of scenery along the route and fits well into a trip that also includes swimming holes, viewpoints, and towns in the province. The city can serve as a base for organizing part of the route, although it is worth checking the actual distances between your accommodation and each site before setting out. If your plan includes mountain experiences, schedule them separately from this day to keep your itinerary more organized.
