Las Terrenas

Other entertainment in Las Terrenas

  1. Gallera

    For those interested in one of the quintessential Dominican experiences, Las Terrenas has a gallera, located on Calle Principal just past Plaza Rosada. There are around a dozen matchups per night. Tourists are welcome, but the fights are certainly not watered down and betting is still an integral part of the event. Volunteers help explain the rules, strategy and wagering to cockfight neophytes.

  2. Paco Cabana Restaurant/Bar

    Located just west of the main intersection in town, Paco Cabana makes great use of its beachside location. Beds and comfortable couches piled with pillows make for a breezy and beautiful place to lounge late into the night. The vibe is sophisticated Miami and, while drinks are the draw, there’s a kitchen that serves everything from basics such as hamburgers (US$8.50) to lobster (US$18).

  3. Nuevo Mundo

    This discotheque, close to the heart of the tourist enclave, is popular with locals and is a good place to get down to merengue and bachata in a typically Dominican way.
