Head east at Santo Domingo and after a few hours drive you'll end up in the south. Down here you'll see all the things you'd expect in the deep south: deserts, swamps, gators…. Wait, wrong deep south.
But actually not that far off. This is indeed desert area, and while there are no gators, there are crocodiles... But we’ll talk about them in another video.
Because of the desert the area is sparsely populated and most communities center around specific areas of geographic or industrial importance. Still, there are a lot of interesting locations far off the beaten tracks worth a visit.
But today we wanted to visit one thing that doesn't usually count as a tourist attraction, and for remote places down south i turned to a local expert and one of the foremost guides to the area: Mike. He also happens to be my little-big brother… Or big-little brother. You decide which is which. We like to keep people guessing.
It's called a Haitian market since it sells Haitian products. Except they're mostly not Haitian products. I mean, you'll find some local produce and products of course, but for the most part it's actually a secondhand market, or flea market if you will.
You see, for over 50 years the world has been pumping aid into Haiti, which has not just served as a moral placebo for the world, but does actually do something: it's created a whole economy of its own, that of the used clothes and items market. You know what they say: one man's trash is another nation's economy. Or something like that.
Donated and used clothes that end up in collections in the more, shall we say wealthy nations, are packed and shipped to developing countries worldwide: Haiti for example. And here they are resold for dirt cheap. Seriously, you can get used clothes for a fraction of a fraction of what you would pay for them new. But they're not just resold within Haiti: a large amount is taken outside the Haitian border and resold to Dominicans -- in the case of the Pedernales Haitian market literally just a few feet from the border. Here anyone can then rifle through these, buy a few or a whole bunch and then resell them again somewhere else on the island. If you thought your free donations are given for free to someone somewhere, you've been sadly misled. For the most part all donated things are at some point sold and resold, even if it's just for a few cents on the pound. Even so, the point was for them to help someone, right? Well, by creating this economy, someone got a job and was able to make some money and feed their family. And that was the whole point, right?
Speaking of which, what about visiting Haiti? Could I just go ahead and visit Haiti by myself, outside of the antiseptic resorts and cruise ships?
While I don't need a broom, I heard of something very elusive - Haitian rum. It is rumored to be one of the best rums in the world, and I want to know if that is true. It's not available in the DR, but you can find the odd bottle here on the market. You just have to look.
My verdicts is that it really is the best rum I’ve ever had. Not sure the best in the world since I haven't tried them all yet, but it seriously is delicious. Especially Bakara Kanel, with its hint of cinnamon flavor. If you can get it, try it. But you may have to go to Haiti to find it or at least to the border...
"I don't know if they taste like chicken..."
And yes, there will be a second part...

----------------------------------------------
- Los Patos River -
About half an hour out of Barahona you will find Paradise. It's a small township hugging a mountainous coastline that truly lives up to its name. And just a few minutes beyond that, you will find the locality of Los Patos -- The Ducks.
The reason there is a township at all is the river Los Patos, or Duck River. I came here to find out why it was called Duck River and what is so special about it.
There is several things about this river that stand out. First of all, the name. While ducks do exist on the island, they are not exactly the most common fowl. You will find the odd domesticated duck, but truly wild ducks are rare. About a hundred years ago, that was different. You could find ducks all over the place and particularly in this river. However, ducks have one big problem: they are delicious.
By the 1980s the ducks were virtually extinct in the Duck River. Only the name remained. When I visited the river in the mid-2000s on my motorcycle tour of the island... Oh yeah, I'm now shamelessly plugging my old motorcycle show Rubberside Down... There were no ducks at all in the river. Thus for many the name made no sense. A duck river without ducks? That's just crazy.
But on my recent trip... They were back! Since the river has become a local tourist attraction, the local tourism board decided to bring in a few ducks, so the river could live up to its name. They’re now kept, fed and nobody is allowed to hunt them.
And because they are now completely tame, they will take advantage of you.
Another thing that makes this river unique is its length. With just 61 meters -- depending on the tide -- it is the shortest river on the island and among the shortest rivers in the world.
Finally there is its temperature, something all of the rivers and creeks in this area seem to have in common. It is unexpectedly freezing cold. With the uncomfortable heat in the area the icy cold river is a welcome change, but it's still a shock... A welcome shock. Bathing in water that had just come out of the ground a few seconds ago is an amazing experience. I can't prove it, but i suspect the water, being natural spring water, has mineral qualities. But who knows. Still, I felt like a kid again bathing in that water. Of course, it could just have been the cold temperature.
And as you would expect, with so much water running through and out of these hills, the hills are perforated with caves and chasms, all of which remain largely unexplored. But that's a different story.
So, if you come here, it will have to be on your own as you will be hard-pressed to find tours available. There are very few hotels in the area, and tourism is scarce. There is a good hotel right next to the river, but other than that, there is very little concerning accommodations. Also make sure to come during the week, as on the weekends it gets very full here with local tourists. It would seem the area is an italian secret, as you will find a lot of italian tourists here, but only the adventurous kind. There is no large scale tourism infrastructure in place and for now Duck River with its ducks and natural spring water is an off-the-beaten-track secret.
And let's keep it that way.
