Your off-road tour begins with hotel pickup in Punta Cana. Once you arrive at the starting point, your guide will brief you on the safety and operation of the buggies. From our ranch in Macao, we traverse the remote farmlands of northern Punta Cana, passing palm trees and tobacco plantations.

These narrow and secluded country roads provide a safe haven for deep mud puddles that we will traverse over and over again. At first, you can try to avoid the mud, but soon you will give in to the filth.

Our first stop at a picturesque ranch in the countryside for an introduction to local products such as cacao, coffee, tobacco and Mamajuana (a Dominican aphrodisiac elixir) and green tea leaves.

Back on the rocky terrain, amid panoramic views of endless farmland and distant mountains, our excursion takes us to a picturesque cave filled with a deep natural well. Skip; Cool off and wash in these refreshing underground waters.
