Experience the Dominican Republic

Beyond the Beach

The Culturismo Experience

A family business run by Dominicans and Dominicanists, Culturismo’s mission is to give smart, curious visitors an experience far beyond what the all-inclusives offer.

We immerse you in what makes the DR special: the history, culture, and spirit of the Dominican people.

And yes, we go to the beach.

Astonishing History

The Dominican Republic is where Christopher Columbus launched Spain’s empire in the Americas.

In Santo Domingo you will see the New World’s first hospital, fortress, custom’s house, cathedral, monastery and university.

You will learn about the destruction of the Taíno people and the earliest movement to protect them.

Spectacular Nature

A tropical paradise, the promise of warm weather and beautiful beaches draws millions of visitors to our island each year.

We take you off the beaten path, to isolated Taíno caves and remote beaches, far from the crowds of Punta Cana.

Good Vibes

Dominicans are known for their sense of humor, kindness, and hospitality. As a Dominican-American family, we weave those values into every aspect of our tours.
