The day starts at a sugar cane plantation, where you learn how Dominican rum is made. Next come a tobacco factory with a demonstration and cacao and coffee plantations. In Higüey you visit the Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of Altagracia.

Interior, lunch and beach

The truck then heads into the mountains of the interior, passing children's schools and stopping at local farms. Lunch is a buffet with meat, fish and typical dishes. The day ends at Macao Beach, in the north of Bávaro.

Who it suits

It fits groups who want to see how people live and work in the interior, without driving anything. Most of the day is moving from stop to stop, so it is not the plan if you want a long beach stay.
