San Pedro de Macorís is synonymous with the growing of sugar cane and the refined sugar industry. After the introduction of cane to the island by Christopher Columbus in 1493, sugar remained the main source of the Dominican Republic's wealth until quite recently. Another industry grew from sugar as well -- the distilling of rum. This industry is today one of the strongest in the Dominican Republic and has produced a number of internationally-recognized brands.
Ron Barceló Rum was founded in 1930 and is currently one of the most prestigious brands in the world. Join this journey to the Ron Barceló Historical Center in San Pedro de Macorís, where you will learn more about the beginnings of an industry and a brand that today are an integral part of Dominican culture. Enjoy a tasting of Ron Barceló drinks accompanied by a small snack -- the perfect ending to this enjoyable excursion.
