Puerto Plata Highlights with Lunch
Make the most of your time while visiting Puerto Plata with this tour that will take you to all the iconic sites this amazing city has to offer. Officially known as San Felipe de Puerto Plata, this is the ninth-largest city in the Dominican Republic and capital of the province of Puerto Plata.
Enjoy an exciting cable car ride to the summit of Isabel de Torres mountain and be rewarded with panoramic views of the city, coastline, and surrounding tropical rainforest. Located 2555 feet or 855 meters above sea level, this cable car offers one of the most picturesque and impressive experiences you can have. On top of the mountain you will find botanical gardens, a statue of Christ (like the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and souvenir shops.
Do you fancy cigars? Your journey takes you to a cigar factory to see how cigars are made. Be introduced to this industry with a brief history of the Dominican cigar and how it has developed since the Cuban revolution.
Along the way you will take a break for a delicious lunch at a family owned restaurant that is a favorite with the locals. The location of the Dominican Republic places it in the Caribbean and sharing its island with Haiti. A long and rich colonial history dates back a few centuries as an important trading spot, as well as a source of agriculture and sugar production contributing to the food it is known for today.
On this tour you will also stop at a popular rum factory for 5 tastings of the best rum to be found in the Dominican Republic. And no trip to Puerto Plata would be complete without a Mamajuana! Enjoy a glass of this delightful, rum-based drink as you learn how it is produced and see why it is this country's most famous export.
