Altos de Chavón is an ancient Mediterranean-type place, built on the Chavón River, in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Its stone structure is unique and every detail shines in an amazing way, giving its different touch to each photo taken there. Its architectural structure, its view of the Chavón River and the Caribbean Sea, its Archaeological Museum and the perfectly structured San Estanislao Church, offer an attractive panorama that promises to complement every detail of your photo session.
Altos de Chavón is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic and authentic places for photo shoots in the entire Dominican Republic. Like many other places, Altos de Chavón has requirements and a series of steps that must be followed to hire its spaces for photo shoots.
It is important that you know that this information is only for reference and does not determine that the requirements are 100%, that is why it is important to communicate with the administration of Altos de Chavón and corroborate this information directly with them. Greg Dotel Photography has no affiliation with Altos de Chavón and only provides this information to visitors to its website for planning reference.
