I'm so proud of being born and raised Dominican and being able to share some of my culture.
Taínos were the first habitants of the island called Hispaniola, composed of Haiti and Dominican Republic, before the conquistadores came in. Their sacred dances were called areítos and were used to communicate with their gods and spirits.
In the center of the circle you see 2 wooden chairs called dúhos and some wooden statues called cemíes . The cemíes represent their gods, whom can be contacted by the means of a rite called "the rite of the cohiba", in which the cacique (chief), the bohique (priest) and the nitaínos (nobles) smoked from a tree called cohiba which put them in trance.
These dances were accompanied of diverse musical instruments, being the tamboras (drums) among them - and this translates directly to modern music in which tamboras play a big role. Address: Manatí Park BávaroWebsite: www.manatipark.com

The other 2 shows that you can see at the park are the parrot show and the horse show. The horse show is only done once a day at 1:15pm, but this one you can live without if you rather want to see the iguanas, flamingos and other animals in the park. The one you can't miss is the parrot show, at 12:45pm and 5:15pm, where they do a play pretty much like cops and thieves. It was so hilarious to see the parrots standing on these child size, remote controlled vehicles going from one side of the "mall" to the other. Address: Manatí Park BávaroWebsite: www.manatipark.com

They offer swimming with the dolphins, petting some of the animals and even picture taking with them. They also have a selection of orchids, artisan crafts, and some restaurants, including a pizza place, a BBQ restaurant and an ice cream stand.

Swimming with the dolphins needs to be booked and costs 85US (and the price includes the admission fee so you don't have to pay for it twice). Address: Ctra.
