General atmosphere / feeling of the place
San Jose de Ocoa is located in the south of Dominican Republic. To get there, you have to drive through some really bad roads - that better one leads there from the south (Bani).
From my diary:
"So I'm in San Jose de Ocoa.

There are 3 roads leading to San Jose de Ocoa and all of them are in bad condition 😉 The best from them leads from Cruce de Ocoa (Bani, Azua) to the city. Why is it in better quality than the others two ? Because it has only 15 km ...of usually not so good road. But that length it's more easier to drive, than, lets say, 50 km on the potholes.
