What should I bring? A guide book and a map

How much should I plan? Not much, we’ll help arrange the details when you get here

This unpackaged travel proposal lets you go where you want to go… do what you want to do… all on your own time and with no more or no less assistance than you actually want or need.

After a day or two at Base Camp 1, after you get the feel of the country, you will be in a much better position to actually decide what it is you want to do.

Each region offers enough to keep you occupied for at least several days. In fact, most people who come to the Dominican Republic and spend their entire time in just one of these regions. Some people return to the Dominican Republic time and time again, exploring one region at a time.

Below we provide some sample itineraries to give you an idea of the possibilities. Please keep in mind that none of this is set in stone.  Day trips can become overnighters; 7-day itineraries can be whittled down to five, or expanded to 14.

Note that these itineraries do not provide extensive detail; we recommend you purchase a good guide book to do proper research, such as The Rough Guide or Fodor’s. The links take you to amazon.com You will also need to purchase a map of the Dominican Republic.
