Operated by Tourice Tours · Punta Cana, La Altagracia
Morning light slices across low hills of eastern Hispaniola as an air‑conditioned van rolls away from Punta Cana, taking visitors inland toward coffee terraces, white concrete arches and the pulse of small-town life.
At the first stop you smell freshly brewed café dominicano and walk through shaded rows of coffee and cacao, learning cultivation and processing basics from farmers whose families have worked these soils for generations.
Next comes the Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia in Higüey, its 75‑meter arch and stained glass framing a long Catholic history that shaped national identity; nearby the municipal museum anchors colonial-era documents and artisanal crafts.
The final stretch visits a working cigar atelier where hands demonstrate rolling technique, and a countryside house where lunch and a cool pool wait—local rice, beans, plantain and grilled fish or chicken.
Expect dirt lanes, short uphill approaches and uneven stone floors in historical buildings; light walking totals about 1–2 miles spread across sites.
Bring sun protection, insect repellent and a small amount of Dominican pesos for souvenirs and museum donations. Tours are generally accessible to most fitness levels but not suited to people with serious heart conditions; infants sit on laps.
Book a morning slot to avoid midday heat, wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for farm paths, and budget 30–45 minutes extra for a relaxed photo stop at the basilica plaza.
The tour blends hands‑on cultural exchange with practical logistics—air‑conditioned transfers, included lunch and opportunities to buy locally made coffee, cigars and crafts, and bilingual local guides.
Most departures include air‑conditioned pickup from Punta Cana area hotels; confirm your pickup point during booking.
A local Dominican lunch and soft drinks are included; alcoholic beverages are typically not included unless stated.
Yes — infants must sit on an adult’s lap; the tour is designed for all ages though some walking is required.
The tour is classified as physically easy, but some sites have uneven ground or stairs; travelers with serious cardiovascular conditions are advised not to join.
