Walk through the desert of the Dunes, discover the salt mines, and enjoy the best mangoes.
A mirage come true right in the Antillean tropics! 🌟 Feel the fine sand under your feet in the largest desert in the Caribbean and wave goodbye to stress in Salinas Bay.
The Peravia province, with its iconic and clean head city, Baní [4], offers one of the most unusual geographic postcards in the country. Its main attraction is the Dunas de las Calderas Natural Monument, immense mountains of fine sand caressed by the sea wind. Right next door, the photogenic salt mines of Salinas will reward you with breathtaking pink-hued sunsets. Furthermore, it is nationally lauded as the undisputed capital of the Dominican mango industry.[5]
💡 The Go Visit Tip: Don't even think about walking through the Dunes at noon! The sand heats up to extreme temperatures. The best time to visit the desert is between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM, or after 4:30 PM. Make sure to wear closed-toe athletic shoes, not sandals.
