My stay at the center was fantastic. Joaquin and his crew — made up of the mom and dad dogs, 6 puppies (which I hope stay at the center forever 🤣), and 2 cats — made the experience perfect, surrounded by the nature of the southern Dominican Republic. It's the perfect place to dive deeper into Taíno Caribbean culture and traditions, and of course to learn about ceramics and reconnect with nature. Joaquin is a very friendly and welcoming artist. Highly recommended.
