The first destination of the day will be the beautiful “Cueva de la Maravillas”, considered one of the most beautiful caves in the Dominican Republic.

During the bus trip the guide will give us a lesson on the history, culture and typical life in the Dominican Republic and will be happy to answer any questions we would like to ask him. We will pass the immense sugar cane plantations of the eastern region of the country and from the windows we will be able to appreciate the flora and fauna of this side of the Dominican Republic.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Cueva de las Maravillas
Having reached our first destination, inside the cave we will discover three attractions in one: the cave itself, the iguanarium, and the famous labyrinth. You will be amazed by the beauty of the stalactites and stalagmites, as well as by the ancient paintings left by the Taino civilization many centuries ago. The impressive geological formations, with a depth of 25 meters underground, exhibit more than 500 pictographs of great aesthetic and archaeological value. The iguanarium is a refuge to preserve the Cyclura cornuta iguanas, which are in danger of extinction in the Dominican Republic. There are currently more than 400 iguanas on display; some of them even roam freely throughout the park. The labyrinth has an extension of 1,632 linear meters. The goal is to reach the palm tree located in the center of the maze. You will have around 10 minutes to make it! And if you get lost, don’t worry! The supervisor of the labyrinth will be there to assist you in finding the way out.
Duration: 1 hour
