Puerto Plata Sightseeing and Countryside

Our adventure begins at Parque Central, a hub echoing with local traditions and tales of the Dominican era. Our path leads us to the St. Philip Apostle Cathedral, followed by a jaunt on the iconic Pink Street (Calle del Sol) and a meander on the bustling Umbrella Street, wrapping up with insights at a native cigar workshop and a quaint souvenir store.

Boarding our bus for a short Malecon drive, we soon gaze upon the majestic 16th-century Fort San Felipe of Puerto Plata, echoing tales of bygone eras. Its exterior viewpoint reveals a mesmerizing panorama of the Puerto Plata Harbor, underscoring its pivotal defense role.

Transitioning to the verdant Adventure Park, we're embraced by nature's splendor. Dive into the invigorating saltwater pool post a serene garden walk, where tropical flora and amiable creatures await. Relish a delectable Dominican cuisine, and perhaps grab a chilled drink from our poolside bar. Whether seeking tranquility or accompanying adventurers, this spot offers a serene retreat for all.
