Catalina is a beautiful uninhabited island which lies 1.5 miles from the southeastern shore of the Dominican Republic. It is classified as a national monument with a protected environment and little development and is also the Caribbean beach home port of Costa cruise line. We will stay here for about three hours and we will have time to enjoy the beautiful white sand beach and, of course, a delicious lunch buffet-style prepared by a renowned local chef including white rice, beans, pasta, chicken, pork, salads, vegetables, fruits and bread.

Altos de Chavon

Once on the bus, we’ll reach the exclusive and world-famous resort of Casa de Campo, a holiday escape for many international stars such as Madonna or Shakira, to make our last stop: a guided tour of the architectural wonder of Altos de Chavon.The village was designed and created by Italian master designer and cinematographer Roberto Coppa. Dominican artisans handcrafted the stone pathways, decorative ironwork, furniture and enchanting buildings, reviving almost forgotten crafts of metal work and stone carving. Each stone was hand cut, each wooden door frame was handcrafted and each wrought-iron detail hand-forged. Construction of the village began in 1976 and the village was inaugurated in 1982 with the concert of Frank Sinatra at the Roman-style amphitheater. Today, this amazing village is the site of many fine restaurants, boutiques, museums and the Altos de Chavon School of Design affiliated with Parson´s School of Design in New York.
