Los Mameyes

Hi there, Can anybody please give me any information about the area Los Mameyes in Santo Domingo. Thanks

It's a densely populated area in the eastern part of the capital, near the Faro Colon monument and the National Aquarium. Easily reached by OMSA-bus service (3 pesos) or taxi (70-80 pesos). I was repeatedly warned not to go there any time of day.
Went there, got to know some really wonderfull folks, and played domino till the crack of dawn. Have been going back there ever since. Overall housing there, except for the "Los Profesionales"-flats, is poor. Hope this helps.

I went to Los Mameyes for the first time this summer. I noticed that it is a very poor neighborhood, but not a dangerous neighborhood. It is also very densely populated. There are so many houses and buildings built next to each other that a breeze of air is hard to come by.
GO to Los Mameyes! I love the people they are so humble and nice.
