A local, English-speaking travel agency right here on the ground
Many trips to the Dominican Republic are booked from abroad through tour operators who have never even set foot on the beaches they’re selling. We do the opposite. Terra Dominicana is a local incoming travel agency: our team lives in Santo Domingo, travels throughout the country year-round, and designs each tour firsthand. The result: first-hand advice, service providers we know personally, English-speaking assistance just a few hours away—and no middlemen to inflate the bill. Meet our team or read reviews from our travelers.
An agency backed by the Terra Panamerica network
Terra Dominicana draws on the expertise of Terra Panamerica, a network of English-speaking incoming agencies that has been operating in Latin America and the Caribbean for over 25 years—from Canada to Colombia, including Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama. You benefit from in-depth local knowledge, proven processes, and high-quality support, all provided by a local, intimate-sized agency.
