The Southeast

Experiences in Southeastern Dominican Republic – Nature, Culture and Contrasts

Southeastern Dominican Republic, stretching along the southern edge of Samaná Bay and into the green interior of El Seibo and Hato Mayor, is a region full of contrasts and natural beauty. Here, coastal plains meet rolling hills, tropical forests blend with sugarcane fields, and everything unfolds in a calm, authentic atmosphere.

Along the coast, you’ll find small fishing villages, hidden beaches, and mangrove areas that can be explored by kayak or boat. A highlight is Los Haitises National Park, which extends partially into the southeast – known for its dramatic karst formations, river systems, and caves decorated with pre-Columbian rock art.

Inland, you’ll discover fertile valleys, cacao plantations, and traditional farming communities. The provinces of El Seibo and Hato Mayor are perfect for eco-adventures – whether hiking, horseback riding or cycling. Here you’ll experience everyday Dominican life far from tourist centers.

The region also has cultural charm: colonial towns with colorful festivals, traditional crafts, and strong ties to Dominican roots and customs.

If you’re looking for nature, authenticity and meaningful cultural encounters, the southeast of the Dominican Republic is a hidden treasure – peaceful, welcoming and full of discoveries.
