Excursion to Altos de Chavón
Your adventure will commence with a pickup from your accommodation at the arranged time, guiding you to one of the most extraordinary locations in the Dominican Republic.
Our journey leads us to Altos de Chavón, an exquisite replica of a traditional Mediterranean village from the 16th century. But what prompted the creation of this Renaissance-inspired site in 1976? Several theories abound, the most famous being that it was a gift for a daughter’s birthday from a prominent businessman.
We will begin our visit by enjoying spectacular vistas from the Chavón River lookout point and the opulent Casa de Campo resort, a favored retreat for several celebrities, including Messi, Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt, Julio Iglesias, and even Bill Clinton.
Our exploration of Altos de Chavón continues as we wander along the cobblestone pathways, taking in the Renaissance-inspired structures such as the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Amber and Larimar. A visit to the San Estanislao church and the open-air theater, which draws inspiration from Greek architecture, will also be part of our itinerary. Moreover, we’ll pass by the delightful Traveso Fountain and the building of the Altos de Chavón Art School.
As we venture through the village, we’ll share stories about the films and music videos that have been set in this picturesque location, including notable titles like Apocalypse Now, Rambo IV, and Jurassic Park. Discover the musical artists who have chosen this remarkable site as their backdrop.
Following our exploration of Altos de Chavón, we will return you to your hotel, with an estimated return time of 3 to 4 hours after the initial pickup.
