At the ruins of San Francisco in Santo Domingo, there is always a festive gathering on Sunday evenings with salsa, merengue, and bachata music. I want to organize a private VIP excursion there. Including staying in a cheap hotel. I know a hotel there. Information WhatsApp +1 809 399 5766
Transport costs for two days depend on the number of people and the pick-up location. Example: two people Bayahibe 190 Dollar. Hotel costs 33 Dollar for a double room.
The Ruins of San Francisco in the Zona Colonial were formerly a Franciscan monastery and church.
The complex was built in the 16th century, shortly after the founding of Santo Domingo. It was one of the first monasteries in the New World.
🏛️ What was it exactly?
Church and monastery of the Franciscans
Built starting around 1508, with further construction in the 16th century
The Franciscan monks lived and worked there. The complex included a church, cloisters, and living quarters, among other things.
It was heavily damaged by earthquakes, storms, and wars and eventually fell into disrepair.
Today, mainly the stone walls, vaults, and parts of the church remain. As a result, the ruins offer a unique combination of history and contemporary Dominican life: on Sunday evenings, Grupo Bonyé is held here with live merengue, son, and salsa. 🎺💃
That festival at these ruins is free to attend.
So, costs include transport from your holiday accommodation to Santo Domingo. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast the next morning. Drinks. Choice of low budget or exclusive. Hotel low budget or exclusive.

Of course, it is also possible to visit the Colonial Zone during the day. Dine at a restaurant of your choice, either low budget or exclusive. And afterwards to the party at the San Francisco ruins. And then sleep in a budget hotel, or would you prefer more exclusive accommodation? It is your own choice. The next day, a cable car trip. And back to your holiday accommodation. Maximum four people.
