With a visit to a plantation, a tour of Higüey, tastings and a typical lunch, this truck safari is the best way to get to know the Dominican Republic. Don't miss it!
Itinerary
We'll pick you up at your hotel on board our trucks; ideal for a safari around the interior of the Dominican republic.
We'll visit a junior school, to learn how local children study and about daily life in a small rural village. Then we'll make our way to a sugar, cocoa and coffee plantation, three of the largest crops in the country and central to the local economy.
The tour then continues in the city of Higüey, where we'll discover the cathedral of Our Lady of Altagracia: one of the most visited Catholic churches in the Caribbean.
Our safari next heads into the mountains of the Dominican Interior, visiting local farms where their workers will tell us about their customs and show us their homes. And before leaving we'll try their Dominican cocoa and coffee in beautiful natural surroundings.
Following this, the tour visits the Valencia Ranch, where we'll observe how their artisanal wares are made and we'll take a delightful horse ride over the ranch grounds. Then we'll fuel up with a delicious buffet lunch, where you can try the diverse local dishes on offer.
The tour ends at Macao beach or the Jonu River, depending on the day. We'll relax for 20 minutes at one of these stops before making our way back to the hotel.
