Next, we will visit a distillery, where we'll learn about the production process of rum.

Then, we will head to a colonial market to explore traditional handmade goods, including colourful paintings, wooden sculptures, and musical instruments. There will be time for visits to souvenir shops and art galleries.

Afterwards, we'll visit a Tobacco Factory to learn about the production of this renowned product and its significance in the Dominican Republic.

To conclude the morning, we will discover Dominican cocoa at a local store before returning to the initial meeting point to finish the activity.
