    • What To Buy: Hand maid (by local inhabitants) paintins - variety of lively colours and matters they represent is admirable.
    Look very nice and were very welcome by people I gave some...

    What To Pay: The price depends of the size and quantity you want to buy, but you can of course negociate. Pitchers at the small side streets demand less prices (intead of those in the center). Quality is the same.

    • What To Buy: Wood carvings make really good buys.
    Before buying make sure the carving doesn't has any even small perforation as it will turn to the big one soon (especially when you take this to place with completely different climate conditions).

    What To Pay: Price depends on the size of carving and quantity you want to buy, but remember that you can always negotiate (negotiations at Dominican Republic are expected and very welcome)

    • What To Buy: If you want to bring some she-shells from Cayo Levantado you don't have to buy them from the vendors. You can easily collect them yourself on one of the beaches (left direction from the place where you disembark from the boat)
