If you are thinking of a tropical paradise of enormous proportions, surely this beautiful peninsula of immense coconut trees that extends in the sea like an island and is called Samaná becomes your ideal destination. It is a kind of microcosm in the Dominican Republic : here you will see the greatest poverty next to the luxury resorts, good and very bad roads, green mountains, tropical forests, tiny villages with fruit vendors, beaches, and the radiant warmth of the Dominican people. .
Coconut palms and spectacular sea views abound in the green mountain areas. Most of the beaches are accessible only on foot or by sea, the coves are highly protected and there are no bays. Samaná is the name of both the peninsula and the city. You cannot miss an excursion to observe whales in their natural environment. The best months for these sightings are from January to the end of March. If you go during those months do not miss it.
A visit to Samaná should focus on two things: exploring its perfectly preserved natural wonders and lying down and relaxing on a small beach to forget about everything earthly. If you want a little more movement, you can easily achieve it in Las Terrenas , the only true tourist center, where you can find picturesque restaurants, accommodation of all kinds, and of course immense beaches.
To get there you will have to do it through a winding road that runs through the mountains of the city of Sánchez . In Las Terrenas you can even enjoy a casino . Try to hire the excursions and sports in the area that you want to practice the following days.
