Pick Up from the different hotels in Miches.

After picking up the customers from the different hotels in Miches, we're gonna make our way to our first stop, the beautiful "Montaña Redonda" (Round Mountain).

Montaña Redonda provides spectacular panoramic views and has become a hot spot for visitors of the Dominican Republic. Nature lover will definitely enjoy the luscious green of surroundings that stand in great contrast with the turquoise blue water of the ocean.

It's now time to continue our trip towards north, direction Los Haitises National Park. We'll pass through the town of Sabana de la Mar and after around 1 hour we'll finally reach the remote National Park of Los Haitises.

Reach the dock of “Cano Hondo” and hop aboard a riverboat and ride through the winding canals of the park's majestic mangrove forests, an ideal home for hundreds of species of birds, fish, reptiles and crustaceans. See “Cayo de los Pájaros” (Bird Key), inhabited by brown pelicans and frigate birds. Among the flora, spot the tropical almond; the wild banyan tree, also known as the shortleaf fig; and the cupey, a dominant tree species with horizontal branches full of birds. During all this time your guide will point out the abundant birdlife and flora providing you many interesting info about.

After around 45 minutes we'll get back to the land. It's now cave exploration time! You'll visit a cave called “Cueva de la Linea”, located deeper in the forest and filled with Taino pictographs and petroglyphs that will give you a better sense of how these indigenous people lived before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The visit lasts around 20-25 minutes and after it we will return on our boat to make our way back to the starting point of “Cano Hondo”.

It's almost time to eat. From the park we'll move direction to the region of Hato Mayor, to reach a beautiful place immersed in the Dominican nature. Lunch will be served at Yanigua Spa, a small ranch deep in the region's countryside with lush vegetation and even an amazing waterfall! Enjoy a typical Dominican lunch of chicken, rice, beans, pasta, vegetables, salad, fruit and a delicious fried fish typically eaten in the local area called “Minuta”. Drinks include beer, soft drinks, water and at the end of the lunch coffee and the typical Mamajuana.

The afternoon will be dedicated to relax. After lunch we'll reach the river with the opportunity to swim in the refreshing waters, jump from the gorgeus waterfall, or apply the riverbed's curative muds to your skin. Fancy a spa treatment for free? Yes the river Yanigua has plenty of sedimentary rocks including mudstones and claystones, which have countless properties and benefits.

Aroud 3:30PM, we'll leave the ranch to start our way back to Miches.
