Tour Program
Barahona
We will begin our tour passing through the Malecón de Barahona, a beautiful coastal area with spectacular views. Then, we will visit La Máquina de Leña, which was the first to start operations at the Barahona mill. We will make a stop at the Municipal City Hall, where the Public Clock is located, located in front of the central park right in the Municipal Palace.
Arco del Triunfo
We will continue our tour of the Arc de Triomphe, where we will pause to take photos next to the name of Barahona, painted with the native cultural forms of the province. We can also find a small house typical of our fields and painted in a fun way for our visitors. Here you can take a photo and even buy a gift to bring to your friends and family.
Neyba
We will pass through one of the sugarcane areas of the Dominican Republic that is still working in the industry and preserves its traditions. Its town is mostly of African descent and Haitian population. You will be able to see their social reality and their roots in their traditions, where we can see some voodoo practice or religious act. We will make a short stop in La Neibana, so you can buy grapes, wines and other offers from the area to your liking.
Las Caritas
We will take a break in time to travel to the historical past of the island. There we will find ancient indigenous figures embodied in the rocks of a hill just in front of Lake Enriquillo. This attraction is considered a natural refuge for the first inhabitants of the island.
Lago Enriquillo
Here we will see the rhinoceros iguana (Cyclura cornuta) and Ricord's iguana (Cyclura ricordi). There is also the American crocodile whose population in the lake is one of the largest in the world in the wild now. Park rangers and nature guides will be receiving visitors to provide them with information about the area, crocodiles, flamingos and other birds in the area.
La Descubierta
We will finish the tour in La Descubierta, where you can cool off in the Barias Forest, where the community cools off from the intense heat of the area. Here you can enjoy a cold beer or some refreshing drink of your choice.
