Stop 6 Pass by

The history of this river contains extremely interesting passages; from the origin of its name, possible corruption of the Taino name "Bomana", to its use by well-known pirates to hide treasures, through its use since colonial times to transport the precious woods that were cut in the forests of its basin.

Currently the mouth of the river is dominated by the town of Altos de Chavón and at its outlet is the spectacular Casa de Campo marina. After the river dam located on the bridge that crosses it, we find a tropical space that can be visited on pleasant boats that transport tourists who want to enjoy the calm waters.

It is a fairly large river that originates in the interior of the country to flow into the Caribbean Sea on the outskirts of the city of La Romana.

7

We will be in front of the Hilton hotel in Bayahibe to enjoy the marine life, the corals, the fish swimming in the depth of the coast.
