COCO Bongo Show

Located in the center of Punta Cana, between the Punta Cana International Airport, the Bávaro Resort area and on the main highway, Coco Bongo Punta Cana has easy and quick access. Since its opening, it marked a new era in the Dominican Republic nightlife where travelers from all over the world and locals have lived this great emblematic experience that began in Mexico.

In this way, to fill the exotic beaches of the Caribbean with emotion, music and dance, Coco Bongo is present in three of its most important and touristic places. And it is that leaving Mexico was one of the most ambitious projects of the executives.

The choice of Punta Cana for the third opening of the popular nightclub was made taking into account that this is today the most touristic destination in the Caribbean. The large number of visitors that this area of the Dominican Republic receives annually indicates its position as the place to vacation par excellence. At the time, Coco Bongo’s corporate PR director referred to the new nightclub as the “best project in the best of places”.

“Punta Cana has the same qualities as Cancun, with more than 35,000 hotel rooms and the largest movement of tourists in the entire Dominican Republic,” the executive told the local media in the Dominican Republic.

Catedral de Higuey!

The Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of Altagracia (in Spanish, Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and cathedral in the Dominican Republic dedicated to Our Lady of Altagracia, patroness of the nation. It is in Salvaleón de Higüey. The basilica is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia in Higüey. All shopping and facilities are wheelchair accessible and the outdoor stage shows have areas reserved for guests with disabilities.

Among many legends, one stands out. A long time ago a young girl from Salva León de Higüey asked her father for a portrait of the Virgin Mary. Her father (name unknown) brought the picture as gift for her. It is believed that the portrait was placed at the house of this girl. For some reason, at the break of dawn of each day, the portrait was always found outside the house, beneath a small tree. Every day this portrait was moved back inside by the girl, until she told her parents about it. The place became sacred, and the basilica was built on that same spot as reference of Mary’s grace. The painting has been on display since 1571 and it was brought to the basilica in 1970. More than 800,000 visit the Basilica to see the image of Our Lady of Altagracia each year.
