Sobre esta Tip
Macorix Cigars is a cigar factory in San Pedro where artisans turn tobacco leaves into cigars, and visitors can buy them on site. Visits are mostly sold as half-day tours with hotel pickup from Juan Dolio or Boca Chica that also stop at the cathedral and the Barceló rum center, so that is the simplest way in. Wear comfortable walking shoes for the walkthrough, and check the age limit of the tour you choose.
