CULTURA

Want to discover the real Dominican Republic, far from all-inclusive hotels and classic tourist circuits?

This excursion is made for you!

More cultural but so enriching, we take you (in small groups) off the beaten track, to meet the heart of the country and its inhabitants.

Unlike what some call "the safari" (because no, there are no giraffes or elephants), this CULTURA day immerses you in Dominican culture in a responsible, touching and unforgettable way.

​

Thanks to our numerous stops, you will be able to immerse yourself in local life and Dominican culture, but also discover what goes on behind the scenes.

On the program for this extraordinary day:

​

First of all, we will meet the disadvantaged children of the Haitian bateys.

An emotional first step in the most disadvantaged communities.
If you wish (and it's not mandatory, of course), you can offer the children some treats or school supplies.

Even a small pack of cookies or some colored pencils can brighten their day!

​

Then we will go to a specific local village for tasting freshly cut sugarcane.

​

The next stop will be at an artisanal cigar factory, where, in addition to seeing how cigars are made, you will learn the whole story...

​

Then we will take a gourmet break in a chocolate factory

You will discover its manufacturing secrets as well as the fascinating history of this iconic product.

Fascinating explanations, and of course… tasting are on the program!

​​

​

​

For lunch, we will go to the home of a Dominican resident who will welcome us into his beautiful property.

Where we will share a moment of conviviality while tasting typical dishes.

​

He will also give you a demonstration of coffee and cocoa making and tasting, and you will be able to discover some local sweets, homemade with love.

​

​

For the more curious and courageous, we also suggest a little detour to the Higuey market, more commonly known as the "poor man's market."
An authentic place, full of colors and aromas, where you will find local spices at low prices, but not only that...

​

And we will end our day by returning to the famous Altagracia Cathedral, an emblematic pilgrimage site in the country.
