The van pulls up under a broad Caribbean sky and the scent of roasted cacao and fresh coffee slips out first—warm, slightly bitter, insistently local. La Boutique Mobile brings a curated stall to guests across Punta Cana, unpacking jars of chocolate, cones of spices, bottles of rum and trays of Larimar jewelry beside an air-conditioned vehicle for a short, sensory encounter with Dominican craft.
