Cibao & the Agricultural Valleys of the Dominican Republic
The country's green, agricultural heartland
Known as the “Garden of the Dominican Republic,” the Cibao region is the agricultural and industrial heart of the country. This vast valley, home to some of the most fertile land in the Caribbean, is home to major cities such as Santiago de los Caballeros—the country’s second-largest city and the tobacco capital of the Dominican Republic—as well as La Vega, surrounded by lush green landscapes. Cocoa valleys, tobacco plantations, and vibrant cities make this a key region for understanding the Dominican economy, culture, and identity.
