The Bayahíbe Rose (Pereskia quisqueyana) is the DR’s national flower. It’s also a rare cactus, endemic to the Dominican Republic. The Bayahíbe Rose Garden—in the village in which it originates—is the only place in the world where you can spot this soft-pink, endangered flower in abundance. Set adjacent to the Bayahíbe’s church, Parroquia Divina Pastora, and in its backyard garden, the flowers make for a delightful, easy stroll in nature onto the waterfront area of the village.

The scenic fishing town of Bayahíbe is an attraction in and of itself; Bayahíbe retains its Dominican pulse, from its local restaurants and bars to its street side arts and crafts stalls, and fishermen who bring catch daily.

How often do you get to step into the home of a 16th century Spanish explorer? Juan Ponce de León’s residence continues to stand in the southeastern town of San Rafael de Yuma, close to Higüey, where he lived before heading out into the seas to conquer neighboring Puerto Rico.
