Overview

  • Would you like to follow in Christopher Columbus' footsteps? Of course I do!

    That’s why we invite you to the exclusive excursion from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo.

    We are giving them the opportunity to experience first-hand the birth of European civilisation in the Americas. The first cathedral, paved road, university, hospital, stone house, tavern, etc. are located within a radius of 16 blocks in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo or “Old Town”.

    And did we mention that the Colonial Zone has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992? How many World Heritage sites have you been to?

    That's how your day shakes…

    From Punta Cana you head west through sugarcane fields until you reach the capital of the Dominican Republic. Now, you’re in the middle of it, witnessing the daily lives of millions of Dominicans; your walled resort is far from this reality.
