History
Uvero Alto’s coastline sits on coral-derived sands near sites once occupied by the Taino; later colonial and agricultural use shaped nearby ranching communities.
Conservation
Riders are asked to stay on packed sand and marked tracks to protect dune vegetation and seasonal sea turtle nesting sites; using reef-safe sunscreen reduces chemical impact on coastal waters.
