Enjoy tastings of locally grown Dominican coffee, organic cacao, and tropical fruits while learning more about everyday life and farming traditions in the Dominican Republic.
The highlight of the experience is your guided visit to Monkeyland, where playful squirrel monkeys may approach you, climb onto your shoulders, and gently eat approved food from your hands. Your guides will explain the monkeys’ behavior and provide instructions to ensure a safe and respectful interaction.
