What To Expect

Macao Beach
After picking you up at your hotel in a comfortable van with a/c, we’re gonna make our way direction Macao, north side of the Punta Cana region. We’re gonna make a quick stop in the local community of Macao to visit a local “colmado”. The “colmado” is simply a Dominican institution. It is typically a small grocery store for basic foodstuffs, cleaning products, toiletries, soft drinks, beer, and rum. The colmado is extremely important in today’s Dominican Republic.We’re gonna stop few minutes here, maybe enjoying a good Dominican coffee or just to chat a bit and start feeling the Dominican atmosphere.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

After learning a bit how the local life develops close to the coast is time to discover how the Dominicans live in the countryside. We’re gonna stop in the small community of “El Penon” to visit a local elementary school to better understand the country’s public education system and meet the children (You can bring school supplies as well if you’re up to and give them to the school or leave an offer to help the local community).

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Parroquia de San Dionisio
Continuing our trip, we’re gonna now experience a bit of the local life in the city. Higuey is the largest city in the Dominican Republic’s East Coast. We’ll take a stroll on the main street and observe the day to day activity in the city. We will visit the “San Dionisio” Church, constructed over 500 years ago.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Basilica Catedral Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia
We will also visit the Basilica of La Altagracia, the largest and most important church in the country. At this time of the morning you should start getting hungry, so what’s better than a typical Dominican street  food snack? “Empanadas” are among the most widespread snacks all over Latin America and the Caribbean. We’re gonna stop in a typical food truck to buy some and eat them accompanied by a glass of beer.
