Rio Chavon, La Romana Province, Dominican Republic


4.0 (334 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in La Romana Province Bodies of Water

At a pirate's refuge in colonial times ...

This is one of the largest rivers of the Dominican Republic and flows from the interior of the country all the way to the Caribbean Sea, right at the city of La Romana and its awesome "Casa de Campo" marina. A river full of mysteries, having been used, in colonial times, for the transport of precious woods, as well as a hideout of fabulous treasures by the legendary Caribbean pirates. From the historic city of "Altos de Chavón", that you will certainly visit, you'll get the best views of this iconic river. Bring your cameras! Enjoy!

    Catalina Island - Chavon VIP by tourismo
    Awesome trip packed with activities for the full day. Tour of Chevon, boat ride up the river, catamaran to Isal Catalina, snorkeling, beach lobster BBQ, then sail back. Awesome way to spend the day.

    Apocalypse Now Helicopter scene location
    it's pretty but there's no infrastructure except a few shacks selling local fare, no restaurants or organised boat tours. The locals use it to bathe and party but it could be made more inclusive and fun.
