Ecotour Barahona is more than a simple tour operator. It is a way of experiencing tourism in an ecological way. Discover with us a new face of the Dominican Republic. A more human, a more authentic face. The goals of our tours are: Sharing with the Dominican culture. Our guides are born in our region and the meals served are typical dishes from the Caribbean. In each town, you will have the opportunity to share some moments of the Dominican life. The respect for the nature. Our tours will allow you to travel around the four National Parks of the region, each of them protected by the Dominican government. All the sites we propose to visit are mostly uninhabited, far away from civilization and thus… truly authentics.

This is a fabulous spot to surf and have a delightful and incredibly delicious meal on the beach- grilled fish to order with beans and rice, plantains....wash it down with a Presidente. Swimming isn’t recommended because of rip tides but go up by the river to swim in clean and clear pools. You may meet some Peace Corp volunteers taking a well-deserved break and learn about some communities off the beaten track.

First of all, I am experienced in visiting mining locales around the world so this is no big surprise for me. However, most people would find the road to the mine difficult, scary and possibly impossible. Fortunately, we were in the care of experienced guides but even so, recent torrential rains made the road more difficult than usual. Many parts of the road were destroyed. This is the only place in the world where Larimar is mined and that makes this special. Mining, for the most part, is by hand. Tons of Basalt must be removed to find a few pounds of the gem. I would not recommend this for a casual tourist, but if you are into rocks, gems, and minerals, it is worth the effort. You will not be able to make this trip on your own. You will need to go with someone who knows the road and has a vehicle that can do the job.
