About this experience
Isla Saona is not only a beautiful natural place, but it also has a very interesting history. For the Taínos, indigenous inhabitants of the island, it was called Adamanay. It was later, with the arrival of Christopher Columbus, when the island was renamed Bella Savonesa in honor of Michele da Cuneo, a native of the city of Savona, in Italy.
Here you can also find the famous Cotubanamá cave, in which the Taino chief who bore this name was executed. Today it is another of the island's tourist centers.
Saona is a movie island, and in the literal sense of the word. Some scenes from the film Pirates of the Caribbean were shot here. But if a movie forever marked Isla Saona, that was Blue Lagoon, El Lago Azul in Spanish. Thanks to the fact that it was filmed in these landscapes, thousands of people discovered Saona Island through the big screen.
