Description

Explore the Maravillas Caves, Altos de Chavón, a cigar workshop, and a chocolate factory on a guided tour from La Romana. Learn about the region’s history and culture from your guide.
Begin your adventure in La Romana with a journey through the mystical Maravillas Caves, where centuries‐old Taino petroglyphs and cave art await your discovery. Wander then to Altos de Chavón, a charming reconstructed village inspired by Mediterranean architecture of the 16th century. Stroll along cobblestone alleys, admire ornate stonework, and take in the wrought‐iron details that capture the romantic feel of an era gone by.

Next, delve into traditional craftsmanship at a local cigar workshop. Learn from skilled artisans about the tobacco aging process, try your hand at rolling a cigar yourself, and explore a small cigar museum to understand its history and culture.

Continue to a chocolate factory, where you’ll observe first‐hand how the cocoa beans transform into luscious chocolate creations. Throughout the tour, a knowledgeable local guide narrates stories of the region’s past, its people, and the arts.
