What you can expect
Begin your adventure with a ride through the town in a traditional Carretas Moto Taxi, allowing you to experience daily life just like the locals. As you travel through the streets, your local guide will share stories about Samaná's fascinating history, Afro-Caribbean heritage, and unique traditions.
Make your first stop at Pueblito Samaná, a charming shopping area where you can browse local boutiques, artisan products, handmade souvenirs, Dominican coffee, cacao products, cigars, jewelry, and gifts. It is the perfect place to support local businesses while taking home authentic memories from the peninsula.
Next, visit the lively Mercado Municipal de Samaná, where locals gather every day to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, spices, and traditional Dominican products. This colorful market offers a true glimpse into local culture and everyday life. Interact with vendors, discover tropical produce, and experience the authentic flavors of the Dominican Republic.
Continue your journey to the famous La Chorcha, one of the most important historical landmarks in Samaná. Known officially as St. Peter's Evangelical Church, this iconic wooden church was brought from England and assembled in Samaná during the 19th century. Its colorful architecture reflects the influence of the African American settlers who arrived in Samaná in the 1820s and helped shape the region's unique cultural identity. Today, La Chorcha remains a symbol of Samaná's heritage and resilience.
Throughout the tour, enjoy beautiful views of Samaná Bay, local neighborhoods, cultural landmarks, and hidden corners often missed by traditional tours.
