Tour details
Tour itinerary
An off-road vehicle will pick you up at your hotel at 9:00 am. From El Arroyo, you will climb up into the mountains to the only Larimar mine in the world. This stone was discovered in 1974. The stone is scratch-resistant, can be polished and is used for various pieces of jewelry. Once at the mine, you will be given a guided tour of the mining village. Entry to the tunnels is not recommended and the visit is at your own risk.
Back in the village of Bahoruco, you will visit a typical Larimar workshop where the locals work the stone in their own backyard. You are welcome to bring your own stone, which you can buy in the mines from one of the many vendors, but please ask your guide before making such a purchase. This is optional and must be paid for by the customer. Afterwards we visit Villa Miriam, a natural complex right on the San Rafael River with natural pools and waterfalls. The refreshing watercourses of the river invite you to swim. If you wish, you can also have lunch here. The cost of this is to be borne by the customer. You will then be taken back to your hotel.
