Higüey is a testament to the country’s rich history and cultural heritage. This city, known primarily for its stunning basilica and bustling markets, is an ideal starting point for exploring the region’s deep-rooted traditions and scenic beauty.

Higüey, the capital of La Altagracia Province, is a city that captivates with its lively atmosphere and historical significance. The most iconic landmark is the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, a stunning piece of architecture that attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists alike. The basilica, completed in 1970, features a unique modernist design that contrasts with the more traditional colonial architecture found throughout the city.

Leaving Higüey, the journey to Altos de Chavón offers breathtaking views of the Dominican landscape. The sense of anticipation builds as the road approaches the artist’s village, a replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean town that stands as a cultural hub.

Altos de Chavón is perched high above the Chavón River, offering panoramic views that are nothing short of spectacular. As one strolls through Altos de Chavón, the sights and sounds transport visitors to another era, where art, culture, and nature intertwine harmoniously.

At the heart of Altos de Chavón lies the School of Design, renowned for its commitment to fostering artistic talent. The campus itself is a work of art, with classrooms and studios that inspire creativity amidst stunning surroundings. Visitors are often treated to exhibitions featuring the work of both students and established artists, showcasing a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, and photography. The village also hosts a vibrant marketplace where local artisans sell their crafts, providing an opportunity to support the creative community while taking home a piece of Dominican artistry.

The amphitheater of Altos de Chavón is another highlight, known for hosting world-class performances against a backdrop of the Chavón River. The acoustics of the venue are exceptional, making it a popular spot for concerts and cultural events.
