SAMANA
On the northeastern Dominican Republic, Samana is not only the name of the
peninsula and majestic bay, but also the scenic and peaceful port town graced
by a seaside Malécon with restaurants, bars, shopping and a marina. Every
winter, thousands of humpback whales visit Samana Bay. Samana is an
eco-tourism destination surrounded by breathtaking nature, lush tropical
mountain hills, the virgin forest of El Valle, beautiful waterfalls, caves with
petroglyphs and pictograms, countless secluded beaches including famous
Playa Rincon Beach, and the paradise island of Cayo Levantado just a few
minutes away. Credit cards are not as widely accepted here so it's best to bring
cash or use your ATM card for local currency. See page 45 for a map of Samana.
