Full description
Book the Bavaro Runners cultural tour. Ride a safari truck to Higüey Basilica, tour sugar cane fields with a rum trapiche mill, watch cigar rolling, enjoy horseback riding, visit a countryside family home, and swim at beautiful Macao Beach.
Immerse yourself in authentic Dominican heritage on an open-air safari truck expedition deep into the countryside. The adventure begins in the city of Higüey to visit the monumental Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, the country's most revered sanctuary. Continue through sprawling sugar cane fields to witness a historical oxen-powered trapiche mill in action, discover the origins of Dominican rum, and watch skilled artisan cigar makers demonstrate the traditional art of hand-rolling premium tobacco.
The cultural journey continues at a traditional family farm in the Anamuya Mountains to sample freshly roasted coffee, organic cacao, and exotic fruits before embarking on a guided horseback ride through lush landscapes. After enjoying an authentic Dominican buffet lunch featuring creole chicken, rice, and beans, complete your day with a relaxing dip in the pristine waters of Macao Beach.
