This cultural safari starts in bustling Punta Cana, transporting travelers aboard classic open safari trucks into the lesser-seen local communities. Here, the landscape unfolds with a rhythm of rural life where vibrant tropical fruits adorn the streets, and the scent of coffee and cocoa fills the air at a traditional homestead. Participants will experience the hands-on art of cigar rolling with freshly cured tobacco and sip on local flavors, from rich coffee to the beloved concoction of Mama Juana. Dominating the skyline, the Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia in Higüey, visited by Pope John Paul II in 1992, stands as a powerful testament to the island's spiritual heritage.
