Introduction
In the present work will be talking about the tourist
places in Samaná place known for hosting the largest
concentration of tourist places in the area where we
will know each of their locations and how to reach
them.
Talk about places in your city and how to get to
them. What means of transport are used? What
are their addresses?

- Samaná has different places among them:

• The Haitises National Park

The Haitises national park is a forested reserve called

haitises zone, the park is in the Bay of Samaná, of
which it forms part. In large part the park is in the
municipality of savannah of the sea.
The karst area of Los Haitises is composed of hills
(mogotes) next to each other with vallecitos (bottoms)
between them. The mogotes of the interior and the
keys of the Bay of Samaná have the same origin,
differing only in that the bottoms between the keys are
occupied by the water of the sea and that are less
elevated than the mogotes.
To get to the national park haitises is extremely easy
only have to reach Samaná either by own car or bus
also by taxi, then go to a tour agency, when you have
already bought the tour they will take a round and
round The Haitises.
• Salto Del Limón
Salto Del Limón, It is a waterfall of approximately 40
meters of height that ends in a spa where it is good to
bathe. This jump is beautiful because of its impressive
height, its green moss that covers the walls of the rock
and the water that flows forming a translucent veil.
To visit El Limón can be on foot or horseback
excursions through the agencies of the area (Las
Terrenas, Las Galeras and Samaná) that is recovered in
the hotel and takes care of the whole organization. It is
also possible to go by car, taxi or bus to El Limón, and
on the road from Las Terrenas to Samaná there are
stops to visit the waterfall.
The stop No. 5 El Pino the horse ride lasts about 30
minutes and about 40 minutes’ walk, walking the walk
is very easy despite some good climbs. In September
2012 the price of horseback riding was 350 pesos and
200 to feet plus 100 pesos for the guide (negotiable).
Returning, you can eat in a good and succulent
Dominican Flag for 300 pesos per person.

From Samaná you leave for Playa Rincón by driving
along the road that connects with Galeras or starting
from there on horseback through the mountains. An
additional and full of adventure is through the sea. The
boats are approached, either from the same town of
Las Galeras or some hotels in the area that offer a tour
to the beach.
The coasts of Playa Rincón are ideal for water sports
such as sailing and windsurfing.

typical small hotels around, as well as those that offer
the 'all inclusive' system.

Playa Frontón is located in the town of Las Galeras, and

is considered to be one of the best beaches in the
Dominican Republic, with crystalline turquoise waters

area. It can be reached on foot (minimum two hours

tropical vegetation and with the mouth of the river
just to one side. The combination between the
river and the beach make it ideal for when the sea
is moved and there is current too strong, as the
bathers can take advantage and take a bath in the
river instead of giving up cooling.

connected by road to about 15 km by road and
roads.

after the bath.
• The Whale Museum

scientists and researchers of theology, since

objective of promoting knowledge about this
beautiful animal, as well as promoting

 Conclusion:

Tourism is the preferred and most recent

economic activity in the country and in the
Samaná region. Despite the fact that tourism
legislation provides for the carrying out of an
environmental impact study for the construction
and implementation of a tourism project, this does
not comply with the rigor required by such a
situation.
