Overview

The Dominican Republic is the only country in the world where larimar stone is found, and it also boasts some of the most prized amber in the Caribbean. On this cultural experience, you'll see larimar and amber up close, learning about their origin and value.

During the tour, local artisans will create products right before your eyes, demonstrating the traditional crafting process. You'll enjoy a tasting of artisanal Dominican chocolate, made with local cacao, and a tasting of Dominican coffee, renowned for its aroma and flavor.

You'll also savor a typical Dominican lunch, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The tour continues to Higüey, a city where many Punta Cana hotel workers live, to experience daily life and local culture. The experience concludes on a public beach, where you can mingle with locals in an authentic setting.

Higuey

In this half day excursion we will be carrying out the following program: We will pick you up at the hotel in an air-conditioned bus. The first thing we will do is horseback riding in the countryside, you will taste the real Dominican mamajuana (a mixture of rum, wine and honey aged in roots and bark of Dominican Afro-Dosis plants) Then we will visit the Basilica "Virgen de La Altagracia" and the local market. We will go to the mountain and stop at a small family farm where they grow coffee and cocoa, and we will see how they make their natural products from these plants, which is their livelihood. At the end we will go to have lunch in a place on the Anamuya River. Lunch will be a typical Dominican food, very tasty! You can also take a refreshing swim in the river. Then, . There will always be a guide or an instructor with you who will assist you in everything. With us there will always be bottled water, soft drinks, rum and mamajuana.
