3 Tours in 1: Cave of Wonders, Altos de Chavon, Chocolate Factory

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 the 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 a 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. The cave is located in the San Pedro region, about an hour and a half bus ride from Punta Cana. During the bus trip the guide will give us a lesson on the history, culture and typical life in the Dominican Republic and will be happy to answer any questions we would like to ask him. We will pass the immense sugar cane plantations of the eastern region of the country and from the windows we will be able to appreciate the flora and fauna of this side of the Dominican Republic.

Having reached our first destination, inside the cave we will discover two attractions in one: the cave itself and the new iguanarium. You will be amazed by the beauty of the stalactites and stalagmites, as well as by the ancient paintings left by the Taino civilization many centuries ago. The impressive geological formations, with a depth of 25 meters underground, exhibit more than 500 pictographs of great aesthetic and archaeological value. 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; some of them even roam freely throughout the park.

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. Before arriving at the village we will make a strategic stop close to the city of la Romana in a souvenir shop to try the famous Dominican Spirit Mamajuana and maybe buy some typical products to take home.

Once ready we will move towards the famous Casa de Campo resort to reach the beautiful village of Altos de Chavon. Here you will have lunch at a typical Dominican restaurant enjoying a wonderful view of the Chavon river. The menu is a-la-carte and you can choose one among 5 different starters and 5 different main courses (including rice and beans, pasta, fish fillet), plus dessert of the day. After lunch we will spend the afternoon exploring the village of Altos de Chavon. We will walk through its narrow, medieval-style streets and have time to visit an art gallery, the small museum about Dominican history, the small church where Michael Jackson got married, and the famous amphitheater, used for concerts by famous stars such as Frank Sinatra, Carlos Santana, and Ricky Martin, among others.

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 we will be able to taste different products obtained from its processing (we recommend the chocolate tea!).

After that we will go back one last time to the bus to start our way back to Punta Cana. Once in Punta Cana we will drop off the customers at their hotel with a process that can take from 10 minutes to 1 hour more depending on the hotel location.
