In the Dominican Republic, tourism is a real tradition: the country welcomes more than 7 million visitors each year and makes it a point of honor to receive them in the best possible way.
Here, no mask, no quarantine to discover the beauties of the island.
From the heavenly beaches of the east coast to the mountainous regions of the centre, welcoming and warm locals make sure you have a dream vacation.
This is particularly true in the twenty or so eco-lodges and eco-hotels on the island, such as the
Casa Bonita Tropical Lodge
in
Barahona
or
the Ecocampo La Sangria in Samaná
, which combine authenticity, respect for the environment and a change of scenery. .

Breathtaking nature
The country's best-kept secret is undoubtedly its wild and little-known nature.
Like
Pico Duarte
and
Las Rucillas
, the highest peaks in the Caribbean, which exceed 3000 m.
Or the
Artibonite
(329 km) and
Yaque del Norte
(296 km) rivers, which prove that here, the water is not only found at the edge of the beaches – even if they are sublime!
Hiking, snorkeling, horseback or mountain biking, sea or river kayaking: there is no shortage of activities to rub shoulders with dolphins, manatees, dozens of species of tropical birds or the luxuriant flora.
Will you have time to try them all?
