While Catalina Island offers a natural paradise, the tour also includes a visit to Altos de Chavón, dubbed the “City of Artists.” This charming Mediterranean village sits atop a cliff overlooking the Chavón River, providing a stark contrast to the natural beauty of the island with its rich cultural and artistic essence. Designed to resemble a 16th-century Mediterranean village, Altos de Chavón is a masterpiece of architecture, with cobblestone streets, charming plazas, and intricate stone buildings that tell a story of artistic dedication.

As visitors explore Altos de Chavón, they encounter a vibrant art scene, with galleries displaying works from local artisans and international artists.

The village serves as a cultural hub, with theaters, shops, and restaurants that offer a glimpse into the creative soul of the Dominican Republic. The craftsmanship displayed in the handmade pottery, paintings, and sculptures reflects the island’s cultural heritage, drawing on both indigenous traditions and colonial influences.
