With a population of approximately 21,000 people, Miches' historical isolation has cataloged it as one of the poorest yet most beautiful regions of the Dominican Republic. Today, Miches is forging a promising future.
The Dominican government has invested in transportation and telecommunication infrastructure to expand Miches' market access. In early 2015, the government completed a highway project from Miches to Punta Cana, removing one of the largest barriers to socioeconomic development. Now, this coastal community is just an hour away from the Punta Cana airport, which attracts more than 3 million tourists annually.
In 2016, the government inaugurated the highway segment from Miches to Sabana de La Mar, adding 40 kilometers to the Punta Cana–Uvero Alto–Miches highway launched in 2015.
