What To Expect

Higuey
We will visit the Higuey's local food market where you will discover fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats that come directly from the community and farms in the region. Here is where local people normally buy their groceries to cook their food, they also buy groceries in bodegas or big super markets but poor people come more often to this local market beause they can find fresh food at a fair price.
