Dive into daily life in the Dominican Republic outside the tourist hubs on the 8-day Heart & Soul of the Dominican adventure. Work alongside local people to learn how they are building bottle homes—homes made out of plastic bottles—to clean up waste and promote environmental awareness. Visit the Haitian-Dominican community of La Grua to learn about modern-day relations between the two island regions. Later, hike the nature reserve and freshwater lagoon in Dudu Ecological Park and explore the beaches and snorkeling holes of Cabarete, on the Dominican Republic’s northern coast.
