Opheim Seed & Chemical 2016 Winter Trip
Dominican Republic - A place where one is very
relaxed & extremely happy.
Nestled between Puerto Rico and Cuba, the Dominican Republic offers
travelers the best that the Caribbean has to offer, with a unique
personality rooted deeply in her Latino heritage. The unspoiled scenery of
Punta Cana will leave you breathless. Located on the eastern coast of the
Dominican Republic, Punta Cana is surrounded by beautiful countryside at
the heart of the best stretches of beachfront in the world. The majestic
reef breaks the waves offshore, keeping the Punta Cana beaches pristine
and the surf gentle.
For 40 miles, the Caribbean and Atlantic mingle and pearl white sands are
shaded by over 300,000 coconut trees. Exotic, tropical and totally
natural, Punta Cana is a nature lovers’ paradise. Punta Cana’s shoreline is
protected by law, ensuring that no manmade structure can detract from
its natural beauty. Vacationers can hike trails and view some of the
native and rare species of animals and vegetation while the island's
mineral springs offer a cool and refreshing refuge. The calm, tranquil
beaches with their warm tropical breezes are perfect for those who love
the outdoors and adventure travel.
Punta Cana is within one of the most arid landscapes in the Caribbean; it rarely rains during daylight hours. And what makes this
stunning Caribbean island all the more inviting is the average year-round temperature of 77°F and an average water temperature of
74°F!
Attractions include the Manati Park Bavaro, with performing dolphins and sea lions, an authentic replica of an ancient Taino Indian
Village and more. Enjoy jungle walks and a 4x4 motorbike excursion along the beach to the Pozo Azul Millenarian Cavern’s clear blue
waters. Take a city tour of Santo Domingo and on the way visit the nearby city of Higuey, home to the first church built in the
Western Hemisphere.
