This Buggy adventure starts from the stream of the El Limon area, and we continue the journey between beautiful landscapes of the small town of El Limon, until we reach a typical Dominican house, where we pause to get to know something about Dominican customs and life : demonstration of typical products such as cocoa, coffee and fruits. Afterwards, we go to the entrance of Las Canas beach and from where we go to Morón beach where we have free time to swim and take photos. From this point we go to Limon Beach to appreciate the views and swim if you wish and then finally arrive at El Limon stream where you have the option of taking a dip in the natural pool.
