Day 01
Buggy Adventure Through Macao Countryside, Cave, and Beach
- Your off-road tour starts with hotel pickup in Punta Cana.
- Once you arrive at the starting point, your guide will explain the safety procedures and operation of the buggies.
- From our ranch in Macao, we go tearing through the remote farmland of northern Punta Cana, passing palm trees and tobacco plantations with the Oriental Mountain Range deep in the background. These narrow, secluded country roads offer a haven for deep mud pools that we'll go barging through repeatedly. At first, you may try to avoid the mud, but soon you'll give in to the filth. This excursion is not for the dainty.
- Our first stop is at a quaint country ranch, where we will be introduced to local produce like cocoa, coffee, tobacco, Mamajuana (a Dominican aphrodisiac elixir), and green tea leaves.
- Back on the rocky off-road, among panoramic views of endless farmland and distant mountains, our excursion leads us to a picturesque cave replete with a deep natural swimming hole. We will jump in, cool off, and wash off in these refreshing underground waters.
- The longest stretch of our drive is also the largest contrast. From the hidden countryside cave, we retrace our muddy path, and then some, to the shores of the photogenic Macao Beach.
