Boyá: adventure and historic legend.

This is a historic trip full of music, adventure and the soul of the real
Dominican People. With beautiful views this enclave acts as a monument
to the first fight for freedom from slavery between an indigenous race and
the Europeans in the new world, as well as the last establishment of the
same people as free citizens of the colony.
Our trip will begin with a visit to the church of Santa Maria de Boyá,
historic monument built in the16th century. There, in front of the baroque
altar the town’s choir will welcome us to pay homage to the mortal rests
of the last indigenous people of this island, the Tainos. The excursion will
continue to the old ceremonial plaza, now the central square of the town
where four local musical groups will perform throughout the plaza. You
can walk freely all through the park and visit the women’s open-air
market where local crafts and sweets could be bought. The tour will
continue with an optional ride in “Moto Concho” (local transport) to the
“Salto de Socoa”. There we can appreciate the beauty of the tropics with
this majestic waterfall and enjoy a short swim.
Back at the town the trip will continue with an optional twenty minutes
horseback ride though the countryside. Lunch will be served at the house
s around the main square, putting each visitor in close contact with the
livelihood of the families of this town. This tour full of history and
legends, music and adventure, human and tropical nature encounters is
predestined to be etched in your memory forever.


Cascading Salto Alto:

Our tour will begin with a sampling of local cornbread and natural
fruit juices. After a brief instruction we will get on horseback and
start our ride trough the beautiful Comatillo countryside.
An impressive cascade of blue and clear waters will be the setting
for our adrenaline full adventure, recommended for those who
want to live life to the fullest. Our guides and instructors will give us
all the directives to assure us an unforgettable and safe
experience while we prepare to go down rappelling “Salto Alto”.
Cascading twenty-five meters between two impressive white water
bands will make this a unique experience for everyone. Our
instructors will guide us from the top of the waterfall to an
effervescent blue water pool making this experience an everlasting
memory. After all this excitement we will return on horseback and
our excursion will continue with a Dominican style lunch
accompanied by local musicians.


Kayaks over the Comate:

Our tour will begin at Comatillo, where a sampling of energy full
local snacks and natural fruits juices will awaits us. Soon after an
instruction briefing we will embark in a trip full of adrenaline on one
of the most beautiful rivers of the country, the Comate. This river,
forgotten by civilization, calm at times, full of rhythms most of the
times, combines itself with the landscape to give us an
unforgettable experience. Accompanied by our guides and
instructors we will enjoy two kilometers of river way on kayaks.
Tame waters mixed with exciting stretches of faster currents
accompanied by exciting falls will make of this a memorable
adventure. Our water trip will end with a free fall over a fantastic
waterfall. The tour will end with live music and a typical local lunch
and dessert.


Saltos De La Sabana Water Park

Our tour will take us to the Edge of one of the island of
Hispaniola’s most exuberant national park, los Haitises. Saltos De
La Sabana is a natural water park combining nature with exciting
adventures. Three mounting bike trails, seven water falls, two
hiking trails and a horseback riding route intertwine with a forest of
bromeliads, palm trees and tropical forest to give you an
spectacular experience.
You will be welcome with a light snack and coconut and fruit juices.
This excursion will offer mounting biking along side rivers and
waterfalls in three different levels, the green trail for the younger
and less experience, the yellow for the adventurer and those with
some experience and the red for the experienced and those who
want an adrenaline rush. Combining the three is recommended for
those who want to live life to the fullest.
If your choice is for a calmer pace but equally memorable
experience you could choose between horseback riding or hiking
the waterfalls trails. After your ride or hike our trip will continue with
a tubing experience in the river Sabana.
Our adrenaline nature adventure will conclude with a typical
Dominican style lunch and deserts.


Terraqua Treasure Hunt.

Our excursion will take us to a fish farm where the games will take
place. Our group will be divided by last names into two teams and
after a light snack and natural fruit juices.

all the materials necessary for the games to start. Our tour will
consist of a series of obstacles that will need to be conquered by
each team in order to pass to the next stage of the game. Points
will be given to each as they concluded each level. Every step of
the contest will engage different, exciting, challenging and fun
tasks involving bate gathering and fishing, treasure hunts, water
sports and mud baths. The wining team will be awarded
