The Authentic Dominican Experience: Culture, Coffee, Cuisine & Tropical Flavors

Escape the busiest tourist areas and discover the authentic Dominican countryside. This relaxing excursion takes visitors into the tropical hills near Puerto Plata, where you'll explore a beautiful park full of tropical flowers, bamboo, fruit trees, aromatic herbs, and coffee plants.

Visitors will learn how Dominican coffee is traditionally grown and prepared, followed by a tasting of freshly made coffee. During a guided walk through the park, you'll pass natural springs that run through the forest and small fish ponds, creating a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere.

Along the way, you'll also find statues representing the Taino culture, the first inhabitants of the island. From a lookout point with views of the green valley and mountains, visitors can relax and take beautiful photographs.

After the walk, you'll enjoy a tasting of fresh, seasonal tropical fruits. The experience continues with a visit to Casa Antigua, a Dominican country house with over 100 years of history. There, a local team prepares samples of typical Dominican dishes over a traditional wood fire, using organic ingredients from the garden and from local farmers.

This excursion offers a wonderful combination of nature, culture, gastronomy, and authentic Dominican hospitality.
