As you travel through the streets, your local guide will share stories about Samaná's fascinating history, Afro-Caribbean heritage, and unique traditions.
Make your first stop at Pueblito Samaná, a charming shopping area where you can browse local boutiques, artisan products, handmade souvenirs, Dominican coffee, cacao products, cigars, jewellery, and gifts. It is the perfect place to support local businesses while taking home authentic memories from the peninsula.

Continue your journey to the famous La Chorcha, one of the most important historical landmarks in Samaná. Known officially as St. Peter's Evangelical Church, this iconic wooden church was brought from England and assembled in Samaná during the 19th century. Its colourful architecture reflects the influence of the African American settlers who arrived in Samaná in the 1820s and helped shape the region's unique cultural identity. Today, La Chorcha remains a symbol of Samaná's heritage and resilience.
