Altos de Chavón (Casa de Campo, La Romana) — 16th-Century Village Replica: Amphitheater + Art Gallery + St. Stanislaus Church + Archaeological Museum (Access Rules Vary; Museum Hours Official)
Highlights
Self-guided exploring of the Altos de Chavón village area (shops/galleries/studios vary by day).
About this experience
Altos de Chavón is a handcrafted replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village inside Casa de Campo (La Romana) — cobblestone lanes, artisan studios, galleries, a 5,000-seat Grecian-style amphitheater, and sweeping views over the Chavón River. It’s a cultural hub you explore at your own pace, and the Archaeological Regional Museum on-site is the most “museum-style” stop with thousands of indigenous objects.
What's included
- Self-guided exploring of the Altos de Chavón village area (shops/galleries/studios vary by day).
- On-site highlights include: Amphitheater, Art Gallery, St. Stanislaus Church, and the Archaeological Regional Museum.
Who it's for
- Perfect for: culture + architecture lovers, photographers, couples, families, cruise/La Romana day-trippers.
- Note: Altos de Chavón is inside Casa de Campo, so access requirements/entry handling can depend on resort policies (confirm with Casa de Campo directly).
What you'll do
- Walk the village streets, visit galleries/shops, stop by the church (if open), and add the museum during its posted hours.
Before you go
- Tickets / price: the official Casa de Campo Altos de Chavón page does not publish a general public “entry fee” for the village; confirm current access/fees with Casa de Campo.
