1. PUERTO PLATA CITY TOUR

Puerto Plata is the second most historic city after the capital, Santo Domingo, and, in our opinion, the most beautiful. It’s worth taking a few hours to explore it thoroughly.

One of the biggest attractions is the cable car to Mount Izabel de Torres. At the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city and the coast, and immerse yourself in tropical nature as you stroll through the Botanical Garden.

The heart of the city is the colonial square with its cathedral and historic Victorian-style houses. The Umbrella Street and Dona Blanca Passage, where you can take fashionable shots, are a furore there.

Head to the Malecon waterfront boulevard to stroll along the Atlantic and see the colorful fishing boats. There you will reach a small cape with the Spanish fortress from the 16th century, a lighthouse and an amphitheater.

Don’t forget that Puerto Plata is also a place of rum and chocolate production – you can visit the factories and taste their products.

The city tour of Puerto Plata is definitely worth your time ! 🙂
