For those who wish to indulge in some shopping, the Palma Real Shopping Centre is the place to be. There are also many small shops that sell local handicrafts. The Punta Cana Area - Punta Cana/Bavaro lends itself more to those looking for the type of vacation where the resort has everything and one never has to go outside the gates. The nearest city, Higuey, is about a 40 minute drive away. Beyond the resorts is mostly empty countryside. Visitors can literally walk for miles along the beach without seeing anything but an occasional unfinished construction project or the next hotel. Higuey - The city has no tourist attractions other than its Basilica, a large modern cathedral that honours the Virgen de la Altagracia, patron saint of the Dominican Republic. Visitors ending up in Higuey with time to spare, can take a walk down the small streets, look at the local businesses, eat the local cheese, go into a colmado (grocery shop) and buy a Presidente beer or a Coca Cola, go to the local market and buy some local fruit, change dollars in the banks or exchange houses (next to the central park), try to communicate with the locals, have your shoes shined for 5 or 10 pesos by a small child, give the child a few sweets and your best smile. Visit the largest supermarket in Higuey and purchase Bon Marmalade, Santo Domingo coffee in a can, top of the line Brugal, Bermudez or Barcelo rum, or stop by a Bon ice cream shop for tropical sherbets. La Romana/Altos de Chavon - One to two hours away from Bavaro, visitors will come to La Romana, a city built and maintained by the sugar mills. The incessant production of sugar fills the air with the sweet smell of molasses. The principal attraction of the region is Altos de Chavon, a re-created 15th century Italian-Spanish village beside the mesmerizing Chavon River. Its old world cobblestone streets and quaint architecture conceal charming shops, fine restaurants, intimate bars, artisans workshops, a church, a vast amphitheater, an archaeological museum, and a university specializing in design. Golf - There are three 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole course in operation the area. El Golf de Bavaro, Cocotal, Punta Cana Golf, and Catalonia Golf course. Saona Island - This is a great day trip destination for visitors staying in Bavaro or Punta Cana. It is an idyllic island national park where just a few hundred people live in simple huts and without vehicles. What dominates here is pure white sand and coconut palms. Visitors have to travel by boat and there are a variety of possibilities. One of the tours takes you out there by catamaran and speeds you back with the thrill of a powerboat ride. There are other calmer ways to enjoy a trip to Saona, including a comfortable ferry type boat that speeds you over the ocean. Visitors will enjoy the land based excursions and boat trips cost from $40 to $100. |
