Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and dispose of trash with guides; small farms rely on sustainable harvests and respectful visitation to remain viable.
The region around Higuey has long been an agricultural hub; cacao and coffee plantations date to colonial and post-colonial periods, shaping local settlement and trade.
