Bahia de las Aguilas
This bay is located at the Jaragua National Park and displays the most beautiful beaches of the Dominican Republic. These powder-like white sandy beaches with their crystal waters amaze their visitors over and over. This beach is known worldwide as a “virgin beach” since it is in the middle of a national park and for this reason its waters are totally pollution free

Enriquillo Lake
This is the largest lake in the Caribbean and the only one in the world located 40 meters below sea level. Its salinity level is three time higher than the one found in the sea. This lake has the Cabritos Island and two more small islands called La Islita and Barbarita.
Here you can find a type of native crocodile and a large iguana population which dwell the surroundings of the lake.

This ride is done on small wooden boats (yolas) sailing around the lagoon.

Hoyo de Pelempito
From its Visitors Center, this 700 meter depression allows visitors to enjoy one of the most impressive views of the entire country. It is said it was created after the sinking of a mountain, or a coral bank emerging from the ocean.
We dare call it our Colorado Great Cannon.

Larimar Workshop
Larimar has become an icon of Dominican identity since this is the only place in the world where Larimar can be found. Its attractive color as well as its hardness, shine, and ease to be polished, make this stone an excellent jewelry material. Larimar’s personality is assured, since this unique variety is not found anywhere else in the world.

Cachote
Cachote is a small town inhabited by only 30 families settled on the Remigio hill, some 1300 meters above sea level. These families live without power or piping, and they make a living only out of four commercial activities: growing coffee, reforestation, growing cattle and ecotourism. This is the perfect place for camping and walking on trails in a tropical rain forest.
