Operated by Go Driver Punta Cana · Higüey, La Altagracia
You step off the minivan and the air changes—warmer, thicker with green. Horses shift their weight at the edge of a narrow trail and the jungle presses close, leaves whispering like a crowd nudging you forward. This full-day Higüey expedition folds the coast and countryside into one loop: a short horseback ride through rural vegetation, a pilgrimage at the dramatic Basílica de Higüey, a bustling local market, and a cool dip beneath the Anamuya Mountains.
