Escape from your resort for the day and check out a glimpse of the real Dominican Republic! After we pick you up from your hotel we'll embark on a cultural experience, driving through the country and learning about the local lifestyle from your experienced tour guide.
Our first stop is the home of a traditional Dominican family, where we take a short tour and talk to some of the family members. From there we stroll the grounds of the plantation and learn the process of making coffee and coconut oil; your guide will also be sure to point out local fruits and vegetation. Next is a stroll through the beautiful butterfly garden. Watch them flutter around as you learn a bit about the different varieties. As you make your way about a small gift shop, we'll view a chocolate demonstration where we watch workers making chocolate first hand. Don't worry, there are plenty of free samples! Plus the opportunity to buy some freshly made chocolate of different flavors. You also have the chance to buy the famous Mamajuana, cigars and other local products!
As we leave the plantation, enjoy the gorgeous scenery as we make our way to the city of Higuey. Along the way, we'll stop at a school to get a feel for how Dominican children spend their day. Your tour guide will discuss the school system and the teacher can answer any of your questions. As we enter Higuey, we'll visit the Basilica, a Roman Catholic Cathedral dedicated to Lady Altagracia, the patron saint of the Dominican Republic. Pay just $1 to enter and walk around this famous, impressive structure. From here we make our way back into the countryside to enjoy a buffet style Dominican lunch overlooking gorgeous mountain scenery. With bellies full of rice, beans and meat, we take a quick visit to the river to relax for a minute. Sit by the water and take advantage of the view for some great pictures!
Leaving the mountains, we head towards the sensational Macao Beach! Spend almost an hour enjoying this breathtaking coast. Refreshments are served while you take a refreshing dip in the waist high water. This is the perfect, relaxing way to end a wonderful day full of new and educational experiences. Country Adventure allows you to see parts of the country that you cannot see from your hotel. Join us on this cultural journey!
