This is a very high-end luxury experience in the Dominican Republic. On top of the 5-star accommodations in Puerto Plata and Santiago de los Caballeros, we will also have food, drinks, transportation, and cigars included!

We will have 7 excursions along the trip, things that include visiting secluded waterfalls, hidden coves, the Christopher Columbus home, and the Fricolandia adventure attraction. These are all included.

We're also going to have a private VIP experience at the La Aurora cigar factory. This is the oldest cigar factory in the DR and the Don Doroteo family has a special longtime relationship with them. When we show up with Juan Lugo, founder and owner of Don Doroteo, we get the family treatment. That's how we'll access their special VIP lounge that few get to enjoy.

We will have a private tour of the Don Doroteo tobacco farm with the owners and an incredible top-notch culinary experience in a gazebo that is situated in the middle of the farm. Eat, drink, and smoke with tobacco plants surrounding us.

While these experiences are great, the best part of Fearless Journeys group trips are who we spend time with. We attract nothing but the best people and talent among your fellow travelers.

Don Doroteo was recently recognized with the "#1 boutique cigar in the world" of 2023 by Enthusiast Report. The owner of that magazine, Lincoln Salazar did a podcast interview with Juan earlier this year, at their farm. Watch it here.

And on this trip, the owner/founder of Don Doroteo Cigars, Juan Lugo, will be with us during the entire duration of the trip. Juan's brother Aaron will also be with us. Juan and Aaron were born in the U.S. and are also both military veterans. They are amazing patriots. Juan also has a background in blockchain technologies. In addition, their family has a wonderful story which has been reignited through their cigar brand, which is named after their grandfather, Don Doroteo. The podcast linked above will tell you that story.

Plus, anytime you need a cigar during any part of the 5-day trip, they are included and available. In other words, you'll never have a moment where a cigar isn't reachable, all part of the package.

I hope you are enthused about this very special trip -- a one-of-a-kind experience that you will remember for a lifetime, while traveling alongside some of the rising stars in the cigar industry.
