Island in the Caribbean, we too often see the Dominican Republic as a postcard image: white sand beaches, the sun reflecting on the turquoise sea, and bodies lolling in the shade of a palm tree. It is a bit of that, and it is also and above all a country full of surprises.

Who could imagine when purchasing a plane ticket he could find snow on the tops of the highest peak in the Caribbean on one of the three Cordilleras spliting the island in so many different landscapes? Tropical vegetation in the north where it is sometimes difficult to navigate without the use of a machete, and desert landscape in the south west where easy-going iguanas and dangerous crocodiles sleep in the sun! You will admire more than 300 different species of orchids and so many bird species for the pleasure of ornithologists? You will visit caves which keep the memory of its primitive inhabitants and the first monuments of the New World in Santo Domingo? …There is a long list...

Contrary to the glossy image displayed in the Western countries - beautiful image, certainly, however too often restrictive - the Dominican Republic offers so many unknown treasures.

Enter the heart of this country, immerse yourself in its warm water, in its multifaceted vegetation, in its crowds of smiling and welcoming faces... Share their joy of living from day to day.
