Visit La Vega Province
The La Vega Province of the Dominican Republic is a beautiful and mountainous region. Located in the central part of the country, it is known for its lush vegetation, stunning waterfalls and cooler temperatures than those experienced in other parts of the Caribbean.
The area features several historical sites that are worth visiting including the ruins at La Vega Vieja and Los Tres Ojos National Park which features three crystal-clear cenotes or natural sinkholes. Tourists can also take a day trip to Jarabacoa or San Jose de Ocoa to enjoy spectacular views from mountain peaks, as well as to visit their local markets featuring handmade crafts and fresh produce.
One interesting fact about La Vega Province is that it was home to an important Taino settlement called Yucayeque Xaragua before it fell into decline after Spanish colonization began in 1492. Today, this province serves as a reminder of this eventful period where many battles were fought between Spaniards and natives for control over the island.
