We checked the website before leaving Santo Domingo after hiring a car for hire. Upon arriving we found out that the Altos de Chavon is not open. We were not allowed to go in. This cost us time and money. Their website didn’t advertise any restrictions.

Loved Altos de Chavon, we don't get tired of visiting this beautiful place. Stores are a little pricey.

The village of "Altos de Chavón" dates of 1976 and tries to "re-create" a 16th century Mediterranean town. It is today a popular tourist attraction to all those visiting "La Romana" and its awesome marina of "Casa de Campo". The village comprises a cultural center, a small archaeological museum, an amphitheater with 5,000 seats (known for some important historic concerts and shows), restaurants, art galleries and a few shops. At its center, a square, a fountain and a pretty chapel devoted to "San Estanislao de Cracóvia", the Patron Saint of Poland. No wonder, "Altos de Chavón" became a quite famous wedding venue in the Dominican Republic. Bring your cameras! Awesome views of the village and of the iconic "Río Chavón" await your visit. Nevertheless, the village does look quite fake. Enjoy!…

We visited Altos de Chavon during Covid-19. It was beautiful, but it was like a ghost town. We actually took family pictures here that were breathtaking and it was probably a good thing there weren't the normal crowds.
