Note on cockfighting
Although this bloody sport is popular in the Dominican culture I’m personally against any “amusement” practice agains every kind of animal. All YouTube proceeds from this video will be donated to the PETA association.

Accommodations in Samaná
If you are planning to visit Las Galeras de Samanà (…And is definitely worth to pay a visit there!) these are two nice places where I have personally stayed, if you contact them give the code “DOMINICANA” to obtain a small discount.
