Detailed itinerary

Departure from your accommodation in Barahona, accompanied by our staff and a nature interpreter guide.

Brief explanation about the trail and the safety measures to follow during the walk.

You will be picked up at your hotel in a safari-type truck and will be transferred along the road to the Philippines, a small community where the only blue Pectonite mine in the country and in the world, Larimar, a blue semi-precious stone, is located. On the way you will enjoy beautiful panoramic views.

During the visit to the mine you will be able to observe the miners in the process of extracting the stone and accompany them in their search if you prefer.
