📍 Santo Domingo · ⏱️ Full day (8-9 h)
You leave Santo Domingo for the Samaná peninsula, stopping in the village of El Valle to see something of everyday local life. The route crosses a suspension bridge with views over the valley, then drops down to Lulú waterfall, where you can swim in the pools. The day ends at El Valle beach, a wide and little-visited stretch of sand on the peninsula's north coast.
