Day 1: Santo Domingo.-
Arrival in Santo Domingo. Welcome to the Dominican Republic. Transfer to the hotel. Our guide will contact you. Dinner included.
Day 2: Santo Domingo.-
Today we will have a fantastic day in the First City of America, Santo Domingo. We include a panoramic visit of the city. We will visit its colonial area, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, walk through its streets, including the first street of America, ¨Las Damas¨ and reach the Primate Cathedral of America (entrance included), dedicated to Santa Maria de la Encarnacion, which was built on the orders of Pope Julius II in 1504. Next to the Cathedral, we will visit the "Parque Colón", a place for the locals with bars and restaurants to enjoy a good time at leisure. After that, we will also visit the Ozama Fortress (entrance included), and we will arrive at the "Alcazar de Colón" (entrance included), the first of the new world. Free afternoon for shopping in one of Santo Domingo´s modern shopping malls or its traditional market hall called Mercado Modelo.

In the evening, we include a transfer to Plaza España, where we can contemplate the beauty and joy of the colonial area at night and enjoy one of its restaurants or bars.
Day 3: Santo Domingo - Bonao - La Vega - Jarabacoa.-
After breakfast, we set off to the north of the Dominican Republic, crossing the central mountain range with beautiful views. We will stop in BOANO, at the centre of the Island, to taste an excellent typical Dominican coffee. We continue to LA VEGA, where we will visit the Sanctuary of Santo Cerro, where, according to tradition, the Virgin Mary made her first appearance in America. We will also be able to enjoy the view of La Vega Real Valley. Dominicans consider Santo Cerro as one of the most sacred places on the Island. We include a typical ¨CIBAEÑO¨ lunch in this area.

We continue our route to JARABACOA, a city between mountains with impressive landscapes, an average annual temperature of 22ºC (72ºF) and abundant rainfall almost all year round. Preferred by Dominicans for spiritual retreats, it is a city full of peace and natural environment. We will be staying at the Gran Jimeneoa hotel, named after the river that runs through its surroundings.
