Altos de Chavon, is an architectural wonder, a 16th century replica of a Mediterranean village perched high above the Chavón River. The village was designed by Dominican architect Jose Antonio Caro, and created by Italian master designer and cinematographer Roberto Coppa. Dominican artisans handcrafted the stone pathways, decorative ironwork, furniture and enchanting buildings, reviving almost forgotten crafts of metal work and stone carving. Under Coppa's direction, each stone was hand cut, each wooden door frame was handcrafted and each wrought-iron detail hand-forged. Construction of the village began in 1976 and the village was inaugurated in 1982 with the concert of Frank Sinatra at the amphitheater. Altos de Chavon was built as a center of culture for the Dominican people.

We visited n 2014 as part of an excursion and I’m so glad we went. The buildings and grounds are amazing to see. The amphitheater looks like something out of an old Roman movie. The fountain is absolutely beautiful. While walking through the grounds all we could smell was the hibiscus trees .. the Chavon river runs along it and we took a riverboat along the River where they filmed Rambo. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful village

Was recommend to go on the trip . And a trip it was . Speeding through sugar canes , a lesson about the sugar canes . Gong through small villages to see how they live . We did have a small hiccup on our ride . But the staff and the crazy wheels team handled our particular situation fast and professionally .

Even though its a small museum, it’s quite informative of the life in the island of Hispaniola, before the Spanish established their settlements. Its also very confortable, very well presented and its Free!

This is one of the largest rivers of the Dominican Republic and flows from the interior of the country all the way to the Caribbean Sea, right at the city of La Romana and its awesome "Casa de Campo" marina. A river full of mysteries, having been used, in colonial times, for the transport of precious woods, as well as a hideout of fabulous treasures by the legendary Caribbean pirates. From the historic city of "Altos de Chavón", that you will certainly visit, you'll get the best views of this iconic river. Bring your cameras! Enjoy!

I went here three days in a row, the beach is spectacular. We were lucky to be here when there was hardly anyone here, we were told that sometimes cruise ships will have an excursion to the beach which brings large crowds. Crystal clear water and white sand beaches, nice place for a walk on the beach, to lounge under an umbrella or for a swim.
