Description

Leave the beaches behind for a day and journey into the cultural soul of the Dominican Republic. Santiago de los Caballeros offers a vibrant mix of modern innovation and deep-rooted traditions. This private tour is designed to show you the best of the Caribbean's first Santiago, from its brand-new aerial cable car to its world-famous cigar heritage. Begin with a private pickup from your hotel or villa in Cabarete, Sosúa, or Puerto Plata. Arrive in Santiago and head straight to the Cable Car (Teleférico). Experience the city's newest transportation marvel from the air. Next, choose between a guided tour of the Centro León Museum to dive into Caribbean history or a visit to La Aurora Cigar Factory to see the art of tobacco rolling. Enjoy a traditional meal (Mofongo is highly recommended!) at a top local restaurant with views of the city. Then, visit the Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración. Explore the museum inside and the beautiful gardens outside. Take a scenic walk through the Los Pepines neighborhood for photos with world-class street art, followed by a visit to the Santiago Cathedral and Fortaleza San Luis. Finally, relax on a comfortable drive back to the North Coast, arriving just in time for dinner.
