Dominican Republic Travel Guide

A Caribbean paradise of coconut palms, white sands and all-inclusive resorts

🌏 Destination Overview

The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern part of Hispaniola in the Caribbean and is one of the region's most popular resorts. Punta Cana's tens of kilometers of coconut palms, white sands and all-inclusive resorts make for a carefree sunny holiday; Santo Domingo's colonial old town was the first European city in the Americas and is a World Heritage site, its cobblestone lanes full of history. Inland there are waterfalls, mangroves and adventure, and in winter you can watch whales in Samaná Bay. With blue seas, coconut breezes and passionate merengue, the Dominican Republic takes the relaxation of a Caribbean getaway to the extreme.

📍 Puerto Plata
Plaza Independencia is the largest plaza in central Mendoza and the heart of the city. After the 1861 earthquake destroyed the old town, Mendoza was rebuilt with deliberately wide plazas and tree-lined avenues that also served as refuge space during quakes, and Plaza Independencia is the largest of them. Shaded by greenery and dotted with fountains, the plaza often features musical water-and-light shows at night, surrounded by theaters, museums and craft markets, with four diagonal streets leading to four other smaller plazas—an agreeable spot to feel Mendoza's relaxed city life and stroll in the shade.
