At 145 km from Santo Domingo, Higüey, a little more than 140 000 inhabitants, is the capital of the province of La Altagracia. It is by it that you will have access to the great tourist centers of the coast of the Coconut trees, Punta Cana and Bavaro. Of agrarian tradition, the city prospers thanks to its breeding and the culture of oranges. Moreover, an important free zone was created there in April 1990. Active in spite of the strong heat which reigns there, the city does not present particular interest if it is not the basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia, inaugurated on January 21, 1971 not far from the old Sanctuary of Our Lady of Altagracia, which dates him from 1572
