Once a tiny fishing village, Las Terrenas on the northern coast of the Samana Peninsula has developed into one of the country’s major tourist destinations since many Europeans, and mostly French expatriates, have come here to open hotels, bars and restaurant. Las Terrenas boasts amazing beaches and superb countryside, beachside hotels and restaurants but has also a wide range of shops, fish shops, butcher shops, supermarkets, banks, drugstores and even European clothing shops.

Las Terrenas has a wide range of hotels from budget backpacker’s hotels to the most luxurious options. Since the building of a highway between Las Terrenas and the capital city, there are more hotel and villa rental options.

Las Terrenas offers many outdoor and water activities, catamaran outing, scuba diving, snorkeling, whale watching but also adventure sports. Las Terrenas is an ideal location for an unforgettable vacation. DeChepa can even suggest day trips and activities you would not have dreamed of.
