Description

Your day begins with the roar of the engines. We will pick you up and take you to our ATV base, where, after a safety briefing, you will take the wheel and venture through the authentic Dominican countryside. Prepare to get down and dirty as you navigate dirt tracks, puddles, and local plantations, taking in landscapes that mainstream tourists never get to see. We will stop at a rural home for you to sample freshly harvested coffee and cocoa. After the adrenaline rush (and after you've dusted yourself off), we'll head to the heart of Puerto Plata. We'll swap the engine for a cultural stroll through the iconic Calle de las Sombrillas and the picturesque Pasaje de Doña Blanca (the pink street). We will visit the historic San Felipe Fortress to gaze out over the Atlantic and wrap up with a sensory immersion at the artisanal rum and chocolate workshops, where you will learn the secrets of our national production. It's the perfect combination for those seeking wild adventure and refined culture in a single day.
