Cárnival Dominicana: A Guide for Travelers
Reveling in Dominican Republic Carnival — a lively, vibrant, and surprisingly competitive event in Santo Domingo. Here’s what to expect.
Caribbean
Jarabacoa: City of Everlasting Spring
Jarabacoa is nestled in the Dominican Republic’s Cordillera Central. We’ve come to visit a friend, hike some waterfalls, and explore a less-traveled part of the country.
Samaná Peninsula: Las Galeras & Playa Rincon
Our Dominican Republic backpacking trip takes us to Las Galeras on the the Samaná Peninsula for beach hopping and fun in the sun, including a hop over to world-renowned Playa Rincon.
Santo Domingo’s Zona Colonial
Day Two brought out the Dominican sunshine and people, allowing for a nice stroll around Old Town Santo Domingo and its many historical and fascinating sights.
Backpacking Dominican Republic
This spring we took a trip down to the Caribbean to explore the oldest Western settlement in the New World and visit a missionary friend.
ANIJA
While in Jarabacoa, a friend invited us to visit the ANIJA school. It was a great chance to see our friend in action and experience an aspect of the DR that most people passing through never see.
Santo Domingo: Viva La Revolucion!
Our third and final day in the capital started back at Hotel Conde watching Dominican life unfold in the square.
