White
sandy beaches, cool azure waters, balmy Caribbean nights:
the Dominican Republic’s Samana Peninsula is this and
more. Coconut-covered mountains that march down to the sea,
majestic capes that plunge to the ocean’s depths where
vibrant, coral reefs teem with brightly-colored fish and
spiny lobster, crystal-clear streams that wend their way
through the peninsula’s lush arroyos, playful waterfalls
tumbling down the verdant hills, the shrill chatter of bright
green, Dominican parrots, the murmur of the ever-present
trade wind caressing the feathered arms of the coconut palms,
cicadas singing through the starry night, the melodic strains
of bachata, merengue and salsa: the sights and sounds of
Samana are never far away. |

Described
by Christopher Columbus as “the fairest land
on the face of the earth,” the Samana Peninsula
is considered by Dominicans and visitors alike as the
prettiest part of the island of Hispaniola. It is the
jewel in the crown of Republica
Dominicana. And with much
of the Caribbean now well-developed, the peninsula’s
pristine beaches and sparsely-populated, mountainous
terrain resplendent with an abundance of tropical vegetation
are not only a welcome change, but are all that remain
of the true magic of the tropical Caribbean.
Samana is the real Caribbean,
the Caribbean of 40 years ago, the Caribbean that awakens memories of a bygone
era when each tropical shore, each bend in an old dirt road brought new adventure
and a wondrous sense of anticipation exploring a developing region that had
seemingly shielded itself from the stress and pressures of modern day life.
Samana today is still that; a return to a simpler place and time where the
magic of discovery still awaits our visitors.
