 | |  |  | Typical Dominican Home | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
On our day trip to Manati Park, we passed several homes like this one. Constructed of concrete blocks with a corrugated tin roof, these buildings are very basic, but appeared to be sturdy. Many of the houses were made of wooden slats, and were brightly painted in pink, baby blue or mint green - very colourful! Cooking is done outside, under a ramada to keep the sun and rain off, and to keep additional heat out of the house itself. Around the homes you would usually see bicycles, occasionally a horse, donkey or motorcycle, and rarely, a car. Leave a Comment

All the information you need is there, Get the feeling of what is "Ecoturism", and be prepared to spend a few dollars in the (very poor) countryside. Such trip is not dangerous, but rewarding. You are driving on good roads, (just drive carefully and make sure you are insured), and soon you encounter a beautiful nature when crossing the Cordillera of the East. Admire the long-stretched waterfall "Marlboro" and the scenic landscape. Refresh yourself in a small river, have a local meal at Mirador Vista del Valle in Pedro Sanchez, right in the middle of the " Ecological Corredor" between El Seybo and Miches. before continuing the roundtrip.

From the Gran Bahia, you will have quite a hike ahead of you. About 45 minutes walk South, you will come across a number of vendors selling everything from jewelry to booze, to cigars. Never pay more than 30% of their initial offer. If you do, you're getting ripped off. Be weary of the cigars. They are often fakes. Take this oportunity to buy your firends gifts. You can get jewelry, ashtrays, rum, art, carvings, and more for cheapie cheapie. You copuld do all this shopping at your resort, but you will pay 5 times as much. Leave a Comment
