What you can expect

Begin your journey with a comfortable hotel pickup in Punta Cana by your friendly, English-speaking driver, and set off on a private cultural experience to the heart of the Dominican Republic’s spiritual life—Higüey.

  • Fully Customizable & Private – Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

  • Pickup and drop off from a professional English-Speaking driver.

Your first stop is the Basilica Virgen de La Altagracia or Basilica Cathedral of Our Lady of Altagracia, one of the most important religious monuments in the country. This modernist masterpiece is a revered pilgrimage site dedicated to the Dominican patron saint, offering stunning architecture and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for reflection and photos.

Next, immerse yourself in local life at the Higuey Local Market, a bustling, colorful hub where locals shop for fresh produce, spices, crafts, and daily essentials. Take in the authentic Dominican culture, interact with vendors, and maybe even sample a local treat.

After your visit, your driver will take you back to your hotel in Punta Cana, wrapping up your half-day journey with a deeper connection to the island’s spiritual heritage and local traditions.
