Las Galeras. The small inconspicuous fishing village on the tip of the Samana Peninsula is reached by a small pickup truck. If you're not claustrophobic, feel free to try it, because the ride through the villages is worth it.
Because the Guagua, as the clunker is called, is used not only for passenger transport, but also for delivering goods.
View of the bay in Las Galeras The Dominican history is the history of colonization. And Las Galeras shows that traces of it remain. French restaurants, bars, hotels. The best local fish can be found directly on the beach. Unfortunately, only a few tourists get lost there, as they are mostly French themselves, and they prefer local cuisine. Beach in Las Galeras Next stop is Las Terrenas, well, you don't necessarily have to see it, unless you like moto-taxis and some good waves for surfing. Small country road near Las Galeras. Villa in Las Galeras The bus stop in Las Terrenas looks more like a kiosk, but it basically works as a bus stop, thanks in part to the highly motivated kiosk ticket coordinator manager and souvenir seller. The slightly frozen bus takes us confidently to the other side of the island to the diving paradise Bayahibe. Postcard idyll Cannon fodder in the bay of Bayahibe Visitors Romantic dinner in Bayahibe Sunset in the bay of Bayahibe Bayahibe. The most beautiful bay of all the islands. For romantics, there is dinner at sunset on the pier; for divers, colorful reefs and the Saint George, a cargo ship lying at a depth of 30 meters. If you drive a bit out of the tourist areas, you will find cozy little villages with Caribbean charm in Las Galeras and Bayahibe. Even if sometimes you feel like you've landed in a southern French harbor town, you won't lose the coziness and Caribbean joy of life.
