Governed from the coastal municipality of Nagua, the María Trinidad Sánchez province is the favorite refuge for those looking to escape traditional resorts.[1] Its municipalities of Cabrera and Río San Juan house natural formations that will leave you breathless, such as the famous Dudú Lagoon, a freshwater cenote perfect for the most adventurous, and the Gri-Gri Lagoon, with its mysterious mangrove channels.[1] It is a tourist hub that has made hundreds of expats fall in love with its relaxed and safe pace of life.
