It's a chance for me to see species unavailable in canada. I am a huge dancer and musiclover, so I can't wait to hear the merengue and bachata beats coming out of everyones car windows.

We definitely need a few few days of r&r at the beach though. Would you recommend boca chica? At first I was very interested, but it's reputation concerns me and I wouldn't want it to be a waste of my holiday. What do you think?

Thanks again everyone, you are great
Since you like history, finishing your vacation in Bayahibe will be ideal.

Why?

Because within easy reach is Altos de Chavon and even though it was built in the 1970s, the village looks like it was around during Columbus' time. Not just that, but it looks and feels like those Italian villages, very nice. Oh, the views over the meandering Chavon river are not easily forgotten.

Then, of course, there is the beach in Bayahibe which is above most people's standards in terms of beauty and cleanliness.

Enjoy your stay!
