SUGAR MILL XVI CENTURY

The tour of the island's 16th-century sugarcane plantations is a true Dominican cultural experience, and combined with visits to sites that represent the life of the dictator Generalissimo Leonidas Trujillo, is an unforgettable adventure.

We will see the impressive ruins of historic sugar mills and sugar plantations where, 500 years ago, thousands of Taíno Indians and African slaves lost their lives.
Then we will continue on to see the village where Trujillo-the man who governed this country for more than 30 years and treated it as his private garden-- was born, and some of the places that he kept for rest and recreation.

The tour begins in Santo Domingo. We will visit the sugar mills and plantations at the mouth of Nigua River, as well as the ruins of the plantation that belonged to Diego Caballeros de la Rosa and the Casa Blanca (White House) that belonged to ex-dictator Trujillo.

At 12:00 PM we will lunch at the hotel Najayo and time to swim at the Najayo beach. (Dominican food, white rice, fresh fish, fried plantan, bean and salad) after enjoy it the beach and some sweet coconet water, we will visit the pomier cave with Tainos pictures.

On the return to Santo Domingo, we will visit the ruins of the early 16th-century plantation called Engombe, on the experimental agricultural grounds of UASD, the country's public university.

The tour includes transportation, lunch, all entrance fees, and a professional guide.
Please bring your cameras and sun glasses, and don't forget a bathing suit, towel, and sun protection cream so that you can swim at the Najayo beach.
