Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology

Nestled in Altos de Chavón, a re-creation of a 16th-century Mediterranean-style village in La Romana, the Regional Museum of Archaeology offers a glimpse into the pre-Columbian era when the Dominican Republic and Haiti were known as Hispaniola. The museum houses thousands of artifacts and artworks, many excavated from the nearby Chavón River region. Visitors can explore an array of pieces that provide insight into the lives and cultures of the indigenous peoples who once inhabited the area. The museum’s collection, rich in history and detail, invites guests to step back in time and connect with the ancient roots of the island.
