After singning contracts and making first payments the normal RD show starts.
coruption all over.
The southwest is a beautiful part in the DR
(Laguna Oviedo and Bahia de Las Aguilas is a must see. If interested in nature, go to Hoyo Pelempito and Cachote (own 4x4 needed), because excursions are rare to get.
But skip Barahona on your tour!!!
Beside coruption you have drugs and robbery, killings...
Don"t say I am a pessimist!
Just go to
