"Souvenir Shops" Top 5 Page for this destination Punta Cana Tourist Trap Tip by micas_pt

On the several daytrips we did, we came across a few tourist traps, usually related to expensive souvenir shops. I’d recommend that when enjoying those daytrips you shouldn’t buy anything unless it might be so exclusive that you won’t find it anywhere else (which I doubt!). The thing is: the guide will tell you it is the cheapest or the most exclusive – it is probably lye and they all say the same.

I’d recommend restricting to the markets near the resort: you can take your time to choose and to barter, something which isn’t possible when visiting a souvenir shop along with a lot more people.
