San Cristobal Tourist Information

The first major city west of Santo Domingo, San Cristobal is considered by many as a small version of the capital. The city of 170,000 thrives on its sugar cane mills and herb fields. Its arid ground and mountain background serve as a gateway to the wild west. Just south of San Cristobal is the village of Nigua where 16th-century and 18th-century ruins of sugar mills can be explored.

For a more Indiana Jones-like experience, head north from San Cristobal. The Cuevas de Borbon is a series of 40 connecting caves including the Cuevas de El Pomier, a particular section that has more than 5,000 petroglyphs and several thousand Amerindian wall paintings. Bring a flashlight to spot the thousands of bats that make the cave their home.
