Discover Altos de Chavon and the well-known Cave of Wonders! This full-day excursion will take you back in time as you uncover years of history and culture of the Dominican Republic on a fascinating journey! You will discover the two main tourist attractions located in the regions of San Pedro and La Romana: the impressive “Cueva de las Maravillas” (Cave of Wonders in English) and the beautiful medieval-style village of Altos de Chavon. A delicious lunch and few strategic stops for shopping will fill the rest of the day.

Once the customers have been picked up from their respective hotels in Punta Cana, we will reach a meeting point where we will have the opportunity to use the bathroom, have a coffee or just relax. The guide will welcome us all and once we are ready to go, we will get back on the bus to start our adventure.

The first destination of the day will be the beautiful “Cueva de la Maravillas”, considered one of the most beautiful caves in the Dominican Republic. Inside the Cueva de las Maravillas we will discover 2 attractions in one: the cave itself an the new iguanarium. The visit inside the cave lasts about 30 minutes and once inside you will be amazed by the beauty of the stalactites and stalagmites, as well as by the ancient paintings left by the Taino civilisation many centuries ago.

The iguanarium is a refuge to preserve the Cyclura Cornuta iguanas, which are in danger of extinction in the Dominican Republic. There are currently more than 400 iguanas on display.

After visiting to the Cueva de las Maravillas, we will move to La Romana region to reach our other main destination: the charming village of Altos de Chavon. Here you will have lunch at a typical Dominican restaurant enjoying a wonderful view of the Chavon river. After eating lunch, we will spend the afternoon exploring the village of Altos de Chavon. We will walk through its narrow medieval-style streets and will have time to visit an art gallery, the small museum about Dominican history, the small church where Michael Jackson got married and the famous amphitheatre.

We will make a last stop in a chocolate factory where we will be able to learn the complete process of transformation and processing of chocolate, from the cacao beans to the final product and will be able to taste different products.

After that we will go back one last time to the bus to continue our way to Punta Cana until we reach our hotel.
