Itinerary description
I rode down the Carreterra International trying to stay on as much dirt road as possible.
There was one moment that was scary when I arrived at the Haitian border market and was surrounded with hundreds of people in the road selling their goods. They literally engulfed my bike and it took about 10 minutes to pass through the market road.
Next time, I'd hire a Dominican army guy to accompany me for this section.
There are some beautiful views along this route.
In places the road was washed away or falling apart. I always chose to ride those routes. If some of my tracks are too hard for you to ride, there are always obvious alternative routes to take.

Hola Bruce, hace unos años hice backpacking en un tramo de esa carretera y ahora quiero atravesarla completa. Crees que puedo hacerla en una moto que no sea enduro? Que tal estaban los puentes cuando la hiciste? Vamos un grupo y creo que va un amigo en su Harley Davidson.
Si. Creo que es posible en una moto de calle porque todos los Dominicanos y Haitianos montan en motoconchos en esa ruta.
Real, gracias!!
Que tal bruce, cuando sales de Comendador en direccion a Hondo Valle, es dificil esa seccion?
Hola @licas8santos,
Pienso que no. La ruta esta facil en moto enduro.
