Drive along a spectacular coastal road to Bahoruco. From there, you will drive up the mountains to the only Larimar mine in the world. The Dominican Republic is the only country in the world where this beautiful stone can be found. In the mine, you have the opportunity to talk to the miners and can also see the hard work they do. You will even have the chance to find your own Larimar. On the way towards San Rafael lunch will be served directly on the river with a natural swimming basin and waterfalls. Before heading back to your hotel, you will visit a Larimar shop where you will not only see how the stone is processed but also have the chance to process your own.
