More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive at a scrubby coastal clearing where the Atlantic’s breeze pulls at your hat and the countryside opens into fields, trails and limestone that the Taino once walked. Guides in bright shirts shepherd the group toward a wooden Taino hut where drums set a pace — a ritual welcome that quickly moves from explanation to dance, and the land begins to speak through movement.
