The west bank of the Río Ozama pulls at the light—murky, fast, insistent—while alleyways open onto small spring-fed pools called pozos. This tour walks the Gualey neighborhood, visiting a local non-profit focused on early education and nutrition, then climbs into the city’s cable car for a bird’s-eye crossing of the river.
