Santo Domingo (The
Capital)
One of the most beautiful colonial cities of the New World and
certainly the oldest. Discover the first cathedral of America; the
Columbus Alcazar, where his son Diego ruled as Viceroy; the first
court of law. Here, men like Hernán Cortés, Ponce
de León and Rodrigo de Bastidas lived, loved and plotted
conquests. They set sail from this port in search of adventure,
gold and new lands for the crown of Spain. Drake held the city ransom
and, like a jealous lover, almost destroyed Santo Domingo. Museums,
restaurants, bars, and galleries inhabit the old city today, but
there are still magic moments to be captured in many a secluded
romantic courtyard. The modern city provides excellent shopping,
cosmopolitan restaurants, and nightlife with all the rhythm of the
Caribbean. The port area surrounding the cruise ship terminal on
la Avenida Del Puerto, greets an endless flow of traffic. Discos,
clubs and casinos light up Santo Domingo nights.
Sosua
A town known for its multilingual and cosmopolitan character, Sosua
is a real jewel of a town and offers idyllic beaches, many guest
houses, hotels, villas, terrace cafés, pubs and restaurants.
Samana
One of the most beautiful tours in Dominican Republic is the Visit
to the Sanctuary of Humpback Whales in Samana. Samana's whales are
well known. Each year 3 to 5 thousand humpback whales return to
Bahia de Samana and adjacent waters to give birth and mate for the
following year. From January until March, frolicsome males can be
observed competing for the attentions of shy females. Sky-rocketing,
standing on their tails (and heads, too!), flippering, tailing and
all sorts of antics. Excursions leave from several points along
the north shore of the bay. Samana's whales are truly an international
treasure and are fully protected by the Dominican government.
Bonao
Bonao is a jewel of a town that offers hotels, terrace cafes, pubs
and restaurants, cultural center, clubs, golf, hiking, biking, horseback
riding, mountain climbing, exploring taino caves.
Every year it explodes into a riot of colour and energy as the
enthusiastic townsfolk celebrate one of the the most attractive
and hedonistic carnivals around. In fact, throughout the year, the
people of Bonao are always looking for a reason to party.
Bonao has been advancing towards modernity with remarkably good
taste. The splendid Plaza de la Cultura leads the way - a haven
for artists, musicians, dancers and curious visitors. In addition,
an array of sophisticated eateries and bars has emerged alongside
the old lanes of charming Antillean merchant stores. In short, one
can enjoy the thriving new tourist attractions while still absorbing
the placid provinicial ambience.
Perhaps Bonao's greatest asset is its proximity to the Cordillera
Central. The cool mountain villages of Los Quemados and Blanco are
like a window to another time. Here more than anywhere in the country
you'll encounter the authentic, warm hospitality of the Dominican
campo.
It's a pleasure to wander along endless roads and trails that offer
breathtaking views of the mountains and wide landscapes - a hidden
jewel for treasure seekers and adventurers.
Boca Chica
The south east coast enjoys fine golden beaches. It’s a beautiful
resort area with hotels and private villas, accommodations and sweeping
panoramic ocean views.
Cabarete
Cabarete has developed an international reputation as host to major
windsurfing competitions. With its six kilometers of beach, it offers
hotels and condominiums and enjoys a prosperous community life.
Jarabacoa and Constanza
A mountain town complete with fresh air, waterfalls, river rapids,
pine trees and refreshing temperatures. The leading tour operators
have created special adventure tours for those who appreciate the
challenges of the mountains. These include river rafting, canyoning,
trekking, tubing, paragliding, horseback riding and jeep safari.
Mountain climbing in the Caribbean, an unforgettable experience!
Las Terrenas
Once a sleepy, little fishing village on the North Coast of the
Samana Peninsula, today's Las Terrenas is a prime vacation destination
for visitors to the Dominican Republic.
With miles of undeveloped white-sandy beaches and protected inshore
waters, this city of over 11,000 people is a bustling center of
activity. And although fishing is still an important part of local
life, the allure of this tropical paradise has fueled its growth
to become an important part of the world's rapidly growing, recreational
market. Very cool place, wind, kite and board surfing to the max
with fab nightlife
Playa Dorada
Four kilometers from Puerto Plata is Playa Dorada with its major
resort hotels, beach facilities, tennis clubs, Robert Trent Jones
designed 18 hole golf course, shopping mall, great restaurants,
all in a self-contained world of pleasure. Just minutes from the
International Airport of Puerto Plata, Playa Dorada is one of the
great tourism destinations.
Playa Grande
Dominican Republic Playa Grande offers 740 acres of coconut palms
and lush vegetation, bordered by 1600 meters of white powder fine
beach. It holds a spectacular oceanfront 18 hole golf course designed
by Robert Trent Jones Sr., in a manner that takes full advantage
of its Atlantic host: 8 holes follow the ocean from tee to green!
Santiago
It is the most important city after Santo Domingo, and is the principal
urban center for the fertile Cibao agricultural region, known for
some of the finest tobacco in the world.
Santiago’s new cultural center rivals that of the capital,
while its Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra stands as
one of the country’s finest universities. Santiago is the
cradle of the Merengue, the national rhythm that has put us on the
map! This gracious city has also given the nation its greatest number
of presidents.
The Monument of the Heroes of the Restoration is a proud landmark,
visible throughout the city. 67 meters high, it contains murals
by the Spanish artist Vela Zanetti.
Another highlight is the Tomás Morel Museum of Folkloric
Art with its colorful collection of carnival masks.
