Visit the breathtaking artisan village of Altos de Chavón. Wander across immaculate tropical gardens and experience firsthand a bohemian way of life. The village of Altos de Chavon was built in 1976 by Charles Bludhorn, the chairman of Golf & Western Corporation. He had the idea to build this sixteenth century Mediterranean village at Chavon River. The Altos de Chavon amphitheater has 5,000 seats. It was inaugurated in 1982, with the presentation of Frank Sinatra and Carlos Santana. Current shows include national and international artists, such as Sting, Luis Miguel, Marc Anthony, among others. From there you can see the Chavon River along with natural scenery used for the filming of movies such as "Apocalypse Now" and "Rambo.” There will be time for shopping so you can discover the wide variety of local arts and crafts the Dominican Republic has to offer.
