San Francisco de Macoris sits in the green Cibao region and is surrounded by farms that grow rice and cacao, the plant that gives us chocolate. It is a busy, friendly farming city.
Tour a cacao farm to see how chocolate begins, cheer at a local baseball game, and enjoy fresh countryside fruit.
This is chocolate country, where cacao pods grow on trees and are turned into sweet, delicious treats.
Green hills and wide farm fields make the area a peaceful place to see how food is grown.
