POLO, BARAHONA
UNDISCOVERED PEARL OF THE SOUTH
Polo, known for its fine coffee production, crystalline spas, green and tall mountains, is an ideal destination when you are looking to escape from the city. The climate is cool and extremely pleasant, surrounded by green mountains and several villages in its surroundings.
​
Polo was founded in the last decades of the 19th century, by people from the municipalities and provinces such as: Cabral, Salinas, Naranjo, Cristóbal, Enriquillo, Neiva, San Juan, Barahona, etc. These people, who were looking for wild animals, penetrated to this zone and when seeing the fertility of the lands they decided to make farm land and settle down definitively in this area.
The growth of Polo began in the first half of the twentieth century when coffee began to take its commercial peak, this being the main agricultural and economic pulse of Polo, and in 1896 Polo was declared an agricultural area.
