Samana Experience/Bacardi island

Description

The name of Samaná comes from the old Taíno, who wrote it as Xamaná thanks to the first Chroniclers of the Indies. The meaning of the word is not entirely clear but it is thought that in Phoenician it means ‘Place where the Carthaginian chief Zammna arrived. The indigenous people pronounced that name as Chamana.
