The story

Carnaval de Constanza in Constanza

Constanza, a cool high-mountain valley town known for strawberries, garlic and flowers, holds a standard February Sunday carnival of local comparsas without a documented signature character. Its roughly 1,200-meter elevation gives the event a notably cooler evening climate than any other Dominican carnival town, unusual for Caribbean carnival season.

Constanza sits in a high mountain valley in central Dominican Republic, cool enough to grow strawberries, garlic, potatoes and flowers at a scale unusual for the Caribbean, and its climate alone sets its February carnival apart from the humid coastal and lowland versions found elsewhere in the country.

02

The mystery stays covered

The surrounding valley's temperate-crop agriculture, strawberries, garlic and flowers rarely grown at this scale elsewhere in the Caribbean, gives visitors a distinctive rural backdrop unlike any other carnival setting in the country
