Itinerary
The Basilica of Higüey, officially named the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia, is a Catholic sanctuary located in Salvaleón de Higüey, Dominican Republic. It is the cathedral of the Diocese of Our Lady of Altagracia in Higüey, and one of the most visited sanctuaries in the Caribbean. Beautiful construction, design and architecture. You must dress appropriately for the church, with shoulders and knees covered.
Higüey City Tour: Travelers can explore the city of Higüey, with its streets full of history and cultural atmosphere. During the tour, they will learn about the history of the city, visit the Culture Square, the Altagracia Museum, and other points of interest.
At Macao Beach, you can enjoy both relaxation and adventure. Here, you can relax under the sun, swim in its crystal-clear waters, or take a walk along the shore.
A typical house in Anamuya, in the rural area of Anamuya near Higüey, reflects the simplicity and traditions of the Dominican countryside. It is generally built with wood or concrete blocks, with a zinc roof and a wide front porch where the family sits to talk and enjoy the fresh countryside breeze. Many houses are painted in bright colors such as blue, green, or yellow, creating a warm and Caribbean atmosphere. The yard is usually spacious, with fruit trees like mango, avocado, and plantain. It is also common to see chickens, dogs, and small gardens where they grow cassava, corn, or beans.

About Punta Cana
Punta Cana, on the Dominican Republic's eastern tip, is a coast of palm-lined white beaches, calm reef-protected water and easygoing island days.
The area stretches along a long sweep of coastline, from Bávaro Beach and Cabeza de Toro to Macao and Uvero Alto, where coconut palms lean over soft white sand. Coral reefs offshore keep the water calm and clear in many spots, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and catamaran outings along the shore.
Top-ranked sights in Punta Cana: Macao Beach (Playa Macao), Bavaro Beach (Playa Bavaro), Coco Bongo Punta Cana.
