Game 1 at Manny Mota Foundation League’s Field of Dreams. "Campo de Sueńos" is a multi-functional Complex that includes a Recreational Community Center, a Medical Dispensary, and several Baseball Fields. Manny Mota initiated the construction of this Field of Dreams in 1995 to bring to fruition his vision of bettering the lives of the people of the Dominican Republic. There are 600 hundred kids in the Manny Mota Foundation League and over 2000 kids play monthly at the Field of Dreams. The Foundation also has a food program that feeds 300 people per month. Manny Mota left his career holding the all-time major league record for career pinch-hits (150), which has since been broken by John Vander Wal and Lenny Harris, and an overall lifetime batting average of .304 and a .297 pinch-hitting average.

National Park Hike and Caves of BUMBA Exploration Join us on a true walking-adventure into the past in discovery of the real Dominican Republic. Following red-earth paths walked by the Arawak Indians winding through small Dominican communities and tropical rain forest we hike up to our own hidden spot for a fresh fruit snack and an incredible view of the 8 kilometer long Cabarete lagoon. Enjoy authentic, locally grown Dominican coffee while learning about the 36 species of birds and 862 species of plants thriving around you. Formed as long as 25 million years ago in the Miocene Period, the ancient rock formations are unique to the North Coast of the DR and hold many secrets for us to explore. Subterranean rivers and caves abound throughout the park home to plants and animals that have become completely accustomed to life in the dark. Venture with us down into the mysterious Caves of BUMBA for a cool swim in truly pristine water and glimpses into prehistory. 12 of the 18 species of bats found in the DR are living within the boundaries of the park, and, if we are lucky, we might catch a few sleeping!
