Chavón River (Río Chavón) Tours and Tickets
Follow the same winding waterway as popular films like Jurassic Park, Rambo and Apocalypse Now along the Chavón River (Río Chavón), arguably the most picturesque river in the country. The best way to see the river is aboard one of the river cruises that pass through steeps gorges, up to 250 feet tall in places, and offer glimpses of the unique wildlife that lives along the riverbank, including freshwater turtles and hawks. The Chavón River also passes by the interesting and beautiful Altos de Chavón, an artist’s colony perched high on a hill above the river that was designed to look like an ancient Mediterranean village, complete with cobblestone streets and an Greek-style amphitheater.

Altos de chavon City of Stones
Between the historic Santo Domingo and the tourist Punta Cana, the traveler comes across one of the treasures of the Dominican Republic: Altos de Chavón. If we had to choose the jewel in the crown of the Caribbean island, this would undoubtedly be Altos de Chavón, because it offers the traveler much more than the beaches full of tourists. A surprising urban and architectural whim of cobbled streets, coral stones, noble woods and iron forged by laborious artisan hands.
A perfect replica of a 16th century Mediterranean villa, which was built in 1976 and whose legend claims that it was a birthday gift from a wealthy businessman to his daughter. It is located on top of a leafy hill above the Chavón River, a majestic river that has served as the setting for numerous films,
This beautiful Renaissance-inspired villa will impress you with its beauty and exclusivity.
