Samaná Province, Province on northeast peninsula, Dominican Republic
The Samaná Province extends along the northeastern coast with mountains, beaches, and Los Haitises National Park covering an area of natural diversity.
Christopher Columbus landed in Samaná on January 12, 1493, during his first voyage to the Americas, where he encountered the indigenous Ciguayo tribe.
African-American immigrants, known as Samaná Americans, settled in 1824 and maintained their distinct traditions through geographical isolation until the twentieth century.
The El Catey International Airport and a modern highway connecting to Santo Domingo provide efficient transportation options for visitors to the province.
From January to March, humpback whales migrate to Samaná Bay, making it the primary location for whale watching in the Caribbean region.
