About this experience
You’ll drive through winding rural dirt tracks through plantations all the way to the famous Domitai Cave Park and a replica Taino village.
Then you'll ride cross-country to a cenote cave for a swim in the Domitai Cave Park. These sinkholes with clear water are perfect for a cooling dip. As it’s a private venue, there are fewer crowds and vendors than at other cenotes. You’ll also get to savour some local specialities such as empanadas and pineapple wine. Next, drop by a recreated Taino village – they were the aborigines who lived on the island before Columbus arrived – where you’ll observe a folkloric show.
You’ll learn all about the production of local crops which are so critical to the local economy – coconut oil, sugarcane, coffee and chocolate as well as the unique Dominican chocolate tea. You’ll try some of these products, along with the national tipple, mamajuana. Overall, a great close-up view of the Dominican countryside and local culture by a Terracross safari.
