Step foot into one of the most welcoming places in the Dominican Republic! At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Punta Cana, and we'll kick off a tour where you'll dive into Dominican culture. Ready? Let's go!
First, we'll travel to the Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of Altagracia, the most revered church in the Dominican Republic. This majestic temple in Higüey is one of the most visited cathedrals in the country, and represents a beacon of hope and unity that holds stories full of faith and tradition. Upon arrival, we'll walk along its sacred halls and admire its stunning architecture. You'll be completely stunned!

The colors, aromas, and sounds mix together in an environment filled with stands of fresh exotic fruits and unique crafts. During the tour, you can talk to vendors and be amazed by the sweet pineapples, creamy avocados, melons, watermelons, and papayas.

As you explore its charming corners, we'll offer you cookies and coffee or tea while sharing the estate's rich history. Dating back to the 1940s, this site was once a humble rural home.
