Complete with “bohios,” or traditional thatch huts, there are displays of items used in everyday life tasks, dance performances, and food tastings. Get valuable insight on the country’s indigenous culture, history, and way of life in one place, while enjoying a day out in nature.

Boca de Yuma

Boca de Yuma offers a daytime escape to a scenic Dominican fishing village. Boasting panoramic cliff top views, it has often been compared to an Italian seaside town, where restaurants, bars, and shacks line up above the sea. The Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León once had a home in the area.
