Gold Pan Excursions  
      
The first Spanish explorers discovered that the island of Hispaniola was rich in gold. While centuries have passed since then, gold is still mined and found in the Dominican Republic. Only twenty minutes from the Ranch, a mining operation is running today finding gold in the nearby mountains. We started this particular tour after a guest with an interest in gold panning found gold in our nearby streams.

On your excursion, around 4 hours, you will hike through the woods to the streams that make their long journey from atop the mountainside. We'll stop at these streams to pan, enjoy the shade of bamboo and fruit trees and have fun. We'll stop at a series of waterfalls where you can pan for gold, have lunch and go swimming.

Costs
$29.00* USD - Includes pan, guide, lunch and the gold you find you keep. Hiking is required, and you will need to cross flowing streams and a suspended bamboo stream.
