Towns of Dominican Republic

Puerto Plata

The Amber Coast, along the northern coast of the island, is named for the rich deposits of amber, found in the hills near the 75 mile stretch of beautiful beaches east of Puerto Plata. The white-sandy beaches, impressive mountain ranges, spectacular rivers, waterfalls and exotic wildlife are just the beginning pf the Dominican Republic's exotic beauty.
Puerto Plata is the largest city of the Northern region and a tourism Mecca of the Dominican Republic; 80% European and 20% North American. It's a popular destination for tourists who are seeking a relaxing, affordable holiday with the option of a lot of places to visit in the vicinity.
3 miles west of Puerto Plata in Cofresi, a new full service marina has recently opened with berthing up to 250 ft (LOA), WI-FI, 24 hour security, customs & immigration on-site and a fuel dock. Ocean World Marina is adjacent to the famous Ocean World Adventure Park, the newest and largest marine park attraction in the Caribbean.
Puerto Plata is known for its glimmering beaches and entertaining resorts. However, straying away from the water for a day can yield a breathtaking experience. Blanketed in tropical flora, the 2,600 foot high Mount Isabel de Torres offers a splendorous adventure. To reach the peak you can drive, hike or take the scenic Teleferico (cable car). At the top of the mountain are lush botanical gardens, a souvenir shop, café and a 52 foot statue of an open armed Cristo Redentor overlooking Puerto Plata and surrounding area. Along with some of the most splendid views of the Puerto Plata bay. The mountain is one of four protected scientific reserves in the country and home to the highest altitude botanical gardens in the Caribbean..

Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo, in the south, features the very first monuments of the American continent: the first cathedral, the first hospital, the first chapel and the first university. In the centre of the country, the three main mountain ranges run roughly parallel to each other in an easterly/westerly direction. The Cordillera Central is the highest mountain range on the island. It includes Pico Duarte, the highest mountain in the Caribbean at a height of 3,098m (over 10,000ft).

Western influence can be seen in the numerous colonial buildings of the capital Santo Domingo while the African heritage, introduced by African slaves brought to the island by the Spanish, is reflected in its music. The popular song and dance, the merengue, blends both heritages and is celebrated in several festivals which draw large numbers of national and international musicians.
