The programme

We leave the port by coach and embark on a sightseeing tour of the rural hinterland with a guide who will point out the best sights along the way and provide interesting information about the history and culture of the country and of Samaná.
We stop for photos at the La Fuente country church, visit the inside and have the opportunity of meeting a local elderly inhabitant who will tell us the story of the Virgen de la Fuente.
We continue our excursion with a visit to a cigar workshop located on the edge of the rainforest and where we will learn the secrets of the famous hand-made Dominican cigars. Here we will also get the chance to try some excellent organic chocolate and buy a few cigars as souvenirs.
Last but not least, we take a guided tour of a family-run ranch where we will see a small plantation and observe the lifestyle in this part of the world.
After the visit, we enjoy a delicious buffet lunch and have some free time available to have a look at local handicrafts and other hand-made objects before returning to the port.
