Default Community Ecoturism Attraction in La Cienega

I came across some info for this new community ecotourism initiative in La Cienega, a village on the hills by the sea. If you are interested in coming to the Barahona area and getting to know the "real" DR outside of the resorts, this sounds like your chance. You can stay with a Dominican family, eat home-cooked food, learn local arts and crafts as well as take guided tours to see all the beauty the southwest has to offer. This project is put on by the Fundacion Taiguey, and funded in part by the French Embassy.

Here is some info (in Spanish):
"GuanAventuras" es una iniciativa de ecoturismo comunitario que conjuga la
puesta en valor de los atractivos de la zona (montañas, playas,
espectaculares vistas panorámicas, ríos y cascadas, tradiciones y saberes
populares), con el desarrollo de servicios de alojamiento, alimentación,
senderismo, artesanía y guianza, todos estos ofertados por la comunidad.

"GuanAventuras" es resultado del proyecto "Ecoturismo Comunitario de La
Ciénaga", ejecutado por la Fundación Taigüey en el municipio La Ciénaga,
Prov. Barahona, con el apoyo del Fondo para el Desarrollo de la Embajada de
Francia. Conjugando generación de ingresos, protección ambiental, auto
gestión y participación de la Mujer.
