Founder and ManagerAfter more than 7 years in Central America designing customized and sustainable trips, I decided to take on a new challenge: to help people discover a different side of the Dominican Republic—one that’s more authentic and more human. Through Terra Dominicana, I want to create trips that truly connect travelers with the local people, because the island of Hispaniola isn’t just a place to visit… it’s an experience to be lived. Your favorite spot in the Dominican Republic I absolutely love the wild beaches and coves of theSamaná Peninsula, like Playa Frontón. But if I had to choose just one, it would be Bahía de las Águilas. It’s a region that’s still untouched, with no resort complexes, and home to some of the most beautiful (and deserted!) beaches in the world. Bonus: glamping right by the sea—a truly unique experience! Any anecdotes? In Las Terrenas, I met a vendor who was as surprising as he was unforgettable: a cobbler by day, a mamajuana maker the rest of the time. Two trades that seemed completely unrelated, yet brought together in the same little shop. A simple, authentic scene that perfectly illustrates the Dominican spirit: creative, resourceful, and deeply human. ...gerencia@terra-caribea.com
