What You’ll See & Do
Our day-in-the-life tour is the best way to visit the local community and experience the daily goings-on in a classic Dominican Republic town.
After we pick you up from your hotel, we will travel to the Dominican Republic’s beating heart, the town of Higuey. The epicenter of local Dominican life, Higuey was established over 500 years ago and is the home to many of the local workers. After we arrive, we will take a stroll through the local food market to see how all the hustle and bustle works. We will then visit the famous Basilica Nuestra, an entirely concrete church, and afterward, we’ll pay a visit to a local car wash to play dominoes. Our friendly, local guide will also delve into the world of cigars, chocolate, and coffee while we visit the affluent neighborhood of Colinas (the hills) and impoverished San Pedro (the hole), visiting local parks and monuments along the way.
