Though all our targets are quite spectacular places, they are not yet overcrowded, but even better, they are: "untouched, unspoiled, unforgettable”" – and they have made our "Ecological Corridor " in the East of the Dominican Republic being known as the Treasure Box of the East“.

Tour-DESCRIPTIONS (in SHORT):

Panoramic Route“  (1.1)
The scenic landscape between El Seibo and Miches offers fantastic and panoramic view points, it’s the only Panoramic - Route in the East. Our Mirador „Vista del Valle“ is only one in a chain of several more Miradors. We recommend to make this Tour (per Minibus or Motorbike) as first excursion, its easy-going and immediately gives you the best impression of what is expecting you here and what type of activities are possible during your vacation.

“Visit of a Cacao-Farm” (1.2)
We recommend to visit a Cacao farm (The Creole), to learn about the raw material for the production of fine chocolate, and taste the locally made drink chocolate. Beside the cattle farming and milk production, the cacao harvest forms an important income for the local poor farmers. Beside the cacao plants, you also learn about the many other local products: Mango, Oranges and many other fresh fruits, Niame, Yucca, Platanos (Eat bananas), Coffee and Guineas (sweet bananas), just to mention some.

Visit of a village School“ (1.3)
If you are not only interested in our beautiful Nature, but also want to learn about the daily life of the local peoples, a visit of our village school is recommended - the children thereby will also have a teaching contact with the tourists, (for example, an Irish guitarist was playing and singing his own folkloric songs, but very fast also learned to play the local Bachata music…) Our visitors from all over the world thus mean a vivid cultural exchange for the villagers, now possible in the time of globalisation….

“ Balneario Ecoturistico or Refreshment at the Riverside ” (1.4)
If you like sprinkling crystal-clear waters, you may walk with us to our nearby "Balneario Ecotouristico", which is nothing else than a favored place at the riverside, where foreign visitors and the local villagers alike (but mostly the kids) take a playful and refreshing bath..

“Tour to the Big Waterfall “ (1.5)
The crown of our tours in the vicinity of Pedro Sanchez is the tour to the "Big Waterfall" or “Salto grande”, which means climbing up the mountain like a goat, before reaching there. But once arriving there (after approx. 3 hrs), you will agree: it was really worth doing it. Pure nature at its best. The first part means crossing rural pasture uphill, the second part is more difficult, the third part is really adventurous. Well, but this is an adventurous Eco-tour, if you are not challenged by such, you are better spending a lazy vacation day on the Beach of Miches or in our beautiful garden.

“ Tour to the Waterfall "Marlboro",   by Hiking (1.6)  or Horseriding (1.7)
Another way to spend a full day in nature, is an excursion to  the long-stretched waterfall Marlboro, which is well visible from the road (at km 6), but can be reached only by foot or on horseback, since there is no path yet to reach there. Local Guides accompany us, and the horses we rent from local owners, we ourselves don't run a stable, since we want that everybody in the small community can participate and benefit from our tours that we organize.

“Tour to the Cave LA CHIVA (1.8)  or to the Cave PEPE (1.9)
A cave tour in the neighborhood of Pedro Sanchez is challenging. The two big caves LA CHIVA and PEPE are almost 200 yards deep, but accessible only from the top of a mountain crest: that means hiking up the mountain on a small goat path, until you reach the top of the mountain (la loma) – where you can enjoy a marvelous panoramic view! - and then you can discover what is yet invisible, deep down under your feet ! We are always around, to navigate you, to help you up and down again, and provide you with all the information you want to have, we interpret the environment and - last not least - we always look after you and your well-being and safety!

Tour Ruta de Chocolate (1.10)
Our region represents more than half of the total high-quality Dominican cacao, and therefore of course we have a „ Chocolate Route“ to visit. There you can learn about how cacao is planted and grown, the different stages of  its life until it is harvested, dried and fermented. You can also learn about the transformation into different derived products and chocolate making, taste a chocolate marmalade or chocolate wine, and spend a quite interesting day outdoors.

A day at the Beach , in nearby  Miches (1.11)
The beaches of Miches are beautiful endless dream beaches,  not yet crowded and less known than the beaches of Bavaro and Punta Cana, and they are all still virgin and untouched. On the way to Miches and back, crossing the Cordillera Oriental, you can enjoy some scenic and panoramic views over the coast line and the mountains.

“Hiking to Majagua” (1.12)
is nothing else than simply walking from the village of Pedro Sanchez to a nearby small settlement called Majagua. Visiting a typical skyblue "Ranchito" there you get the feeling of how idyllic and simple the local peoples are living here, and after having a refreshment, we return to the Mirador "Vista del Valle".

Tour to the Lagoon Limon ” (1.13)
If you want to leave the mountains and valleys behind for a day and smell the Atlantic Sea and Mangroves, there is yet another interesting and exciting target in a special scientific reserve, protected since 1983. Such tour gives you another interesting learning experience to discover the eco-system and biological diversity of "Laguna Limon " and its bird-, crab- and fish population.

“ Wale Watching -Tour” (1.14)
On request, however during January and March each year only, we offer an exciting day excursion on the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, leaving Miches on a safe catamaran into the bay of Samana. These whale watching tours are a worldwide known activity, since where else you can observe these giant animals mating.
