Description
Explore the Dominican countryside on a full-day tour from Punta Cana. Visit the Basilica of Higüey, enjoy a horseback ride, and relax at Macao Beach.
Begin your journey with a scenic ride through verdant jungle trails on horseback, feeling the Dominican countryside close around you. Next, visit the stunning Basilica of Higüey, an architectural and spiritual landmark of deep significance.
From there, wander through a bustling local market, absorbing the vivid colors, smells, and traditions of daily life. Stop at artisan shops to admire local craftsmanship.
Afterward, head toward the Anamuya Mountains where a refreshing river dip awaits, followed by a hearty buffet lunch featuring Dominican dishes in a lush riverside setting.
Continue with a visit inside a traditional home, where you’ll learn about how coffee and cocoa are produced locally, and taste fresh samples. For something uniquely Dominican, go to a cigar factory to see how cigars are made (and try crafting one yourself if you wish).
To round off, relax at the beautiful Macao Beach—white sands, ocean breeze, great photo-ops—and enjoy the seaside before returning to Punta Cana.
