Hidden Gems of Higüey

Higüey, the capital of La Altagracia province, centers on the striking modernist Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of Altagracia, completed in 1971 with its iconic 69-meter concrete arch. Nearby, the 16th-century Santuario San Dionisio offers a colonial contrast, having served as the original home for the Virgin of Altagracia painting. The city’s historic core is connected by public spaces like Plaza de la Restauración and Parque Central, providing a glimpse into local life away from the coastal resorts.
