Excursions in Higuey

Hey there, adventure seekers! Are you ready to explore the beating heart of the Dominican Republic's eastern region? Look no further than Higüey, a city brimming with history, culture, and natural wonders. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about showing you the best this vibrant city has to offer. So, grab your sunhat and let's dive into some of the must-see spots you can experience on our guided tours!

Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia: A Spiritual Marvel

First stop on our Higüey adventure is the awe-inspiring Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia. Trust me, even if you're not religious, this place will take your breath away. Picture this: a massive, modern cathedral that looks like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie, but with a warm, spiritual vibe that'll give you goosebumps. Our guide, Maria, loves to share the legends surrounding the miraculous painting of the Virgin Mary housed inside. Pro tip: don't forget to look up at the stunning stained-glass windows!

San Dionisio Church: A Step Back in Time

Now, if you're a history buff like our guide Carlos, you'll absolutely adore the San Dionisio Church. This charming little church might not look like much from the outside, but step inside and you'll feel like you've traveled back to colonial times. The wooden altar and centuries-old religious artifacts will transport you to a bygone era. Carlos always gets a kick out of pointing out the quirky details that most visitors miss – like the hidden symbols in the artwork.

Higüey Market: A Feast for the Senses

Ready for a sensory overload? Let's hit up the Higüey Market! This isn't your average tourist trap – it's where the locals shop, and boy, is it an experience. The colors, smells, and sounds will have your head spinning (in the best way possible). Our guide, Luisa, is a pro at haggling and can help you snag some unique souvenirs. Just be prepared for the occasional friendly chicken crossing your path!

Laguna de Limón: Nature's Hidden Oasis

Now, let's escape the hustle and bustle and head to the serene Laguna de Limón. This hidden gem is a favorite among our nature-loving guests. Picture a crystal-clear lagoon surrounded by lush tropical vegetation – it's like stepping into a postcard! Our guide, Juan, knows all the best spots for bird watching and can even show you how to spot the elusive rhinoceros iguana. Don't forget your camera!

Macao Beach: Sun, Sand, and Surf

No trip to Higüey would be complete without a visit to the stunning Macao Beach. This stretch of pristine white sand and turquoise waters is what Caribbean dreams are made of. Whether you want to catch some waves (surf lessons, anyone?), lounge under a palm tree, or join a game of beach volleyball, Macao has got you covered. Our guide, Sofia, knows all the best local beach bars for that perfect sunset cocktail.
