Here in the Dominican Republic, “Labor Day” is officially celebrated every year on May 1st, however this year the celebration was moved to today Monday May 4th so that everyone can enjoy a nice long weekend!
Labor Day, a national holiday also celebrated in many countries around the world (including in England where we call it “May Day”), it’s a day to celebrate and thank all those workers out there!
So today we take this opportunity to wish every happy labor day and because our office is located in Altos de Chavón we thought it’d be fun to give you our top 9 reasons why working in Altos de Chavón is awesome!
1. The View
What better view than that of the Chavón river to enjoy when you’re on lunchbreak!?

2. Lunch
Packed lunch? Lunch in an office canteen? Not here in Altos de Chavón! Here in Altos de Chavón we have some of Casa de Campo’s finest restaurants to choose from! For us at the SILGON office our favorite lunchtime spots are La Cantina and FRESH FRESH, they both do a great meal of the day!
