Dominican Wonders: Culture, Community, and Natural Beauty

This eight-day tour moves through four distinct corners of the Dominican Republic — Santiago de los Caballeros, Cabarete, Jarabacoa, and Santo Domingo — giving student groups a genuine cross-section of the country rather than a resort-window view. The through-line is contact: with Dominican history, with the Spanish language in daily use, with community members whose lives look genuinely different from life back home. That combination of service-learning and language immersion is rare on a single itinerary, and it shapes every day from the colonial streets of the capital to the mountain air of Jarabacoa.
