The Island of the Dominican Republic 

Is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the north and the Caribbean Sea on the south, our lush tropical island paradise boasts nearly 1,000 miles (1,609 km) of coastline, 250 miles (402 km) of the world’s top beaches, a variety of sports, recreation and entertainment options.  Here you can dance to the pule-pounding thrill of the merengue, explore ancient relics of centuries past, delight in delicious Dominican gastronomy or enjoy ecotourism adventures in our magnificent national parks, mountain ranges, rivers, and beaches.

 Discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, the country overflows with fascinating history, museums and exciting cultural experiences like music, art, and festivals, plus uniquely Dominican specialties such as cigars, rum, chocolate, coffee, merengue, amber, and larimar.

 The birthplace of tourism in the Dominican Republic,  Puerto Plata continues to pack a mighty punch.

 Its spectacular, sprawling landscape combines sea, mountains, lush valleys, rivers, and a multitude of beaches.  Its fertile soil grows cacao and coffee trees, while underneath rests the world’s clearest amber.

 Savvy explorer Christopher Columbus knw there was much to discover on this northern Atlantic coastline-eventually finding gold deposits-when he glimpsed it from his ship in 1492.  Drawn by the sight of clouds shimmering over Mount Isabel de Torres and illuiminating Puerto Plata’s vast blue shoreline, he named the area the “Silver Port” and settled at La Isabela with a mixed community of Tainos-original inhabitants of the area- and Spaniards, built the first church and his first home in the Americas.  You can follow Columbus’s trail and tour these archeological ruins, now part of a national park.

 Puerto Plata’s natural bounty continues to astound those who lay eyes on La Novia del Atlantico, or as locals call it, the Atlantic’s Darling.  A bird’s eye view from the cable car-the only one in the Caribbean, taking passengers to Mount Isabel de Torres and its lush botanical gardens-reveals part of an Atlantic coastline with more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) of beaches gracing multiple coastal villages, inland farming communities replete with rivers and falls.  To boot, Puerto Plata is home to colonial vestiges, including the largest collection of preserved 19th century Victorian-style houses in the Caribbean, the oldest amber fossils in the world on display at the Amber Museum, and one of the first colonial period fortresses in the region at Fortaleza San Feliipe, dating back to 1577.
