República Dominicana - The Land beyond the blue

Put your headphones on, sit back, relax and let yourself be immersed into the authentic Caribbean lifestyle following the rhythm of music and discover a land of culture, art and extraordinary colonial architecture!

This short film is the result of 16 extraordinary days of travel in #DominicanRepublic - from #SantoDomingo to the #Samaná Peninsula, discovering a plethora of unique landscapes: mountains, forests, cliffs, hidden beaches and mangroves!

Santo Domingo, Juan Dolio, Bayahibe, Samaná, Cayo Levantado, Las Galeras (La Playita, Playa Rincon, El Fronton, Monte Azul), Cabrera (Río San Juan).

Note on cockfighting
Although this bloody sport is popular in the Dominican culture I’m personally against any “amusement” practice agains every kind of animal. All YouTube proceeds from this video will be donated to the PETA association.

This is real Dominican culture. Not that bullshit they make us out to look in NYC or Miami. No hookahs, no chapis, none of that nonsense. Just an island full of pride and heritage. Thank you for this! I especially loved the ending. My father spent a lot of time there.

Wow it’s so beautiful, I never knew that was what it looked like. Mostly because of what the media usually portrays but this is different. It’s so full of life and color. Please make one for my country Nigeria too. It’s time to start changing these negative ideas of developing countries. Absolutely love and admire your work.
