ITINERARY

A full day on the coast, for people who came for the beaches and the landscape.
The walk is 2.5 km out and 2 km back, along hidden paths through dense vegetation beside the sea. On the way you pass through a rock cave you have to cross to reach the water, and seven untouched beaches, each one different from the last.
The route is walked with the community. Young people from the village have trained as hiking guides; others cook a proper Dominican lunch on the beach itself, and leave nothing behind.
