Dominican Republic's Absolute Essentials

Explore the Dominican Republic's historical and natural landmarks, starting with the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo, home to the first cathedral and fortified palace in the Americas. Visit the 16th-century Mediterranean-style village of Altos de Chavón or take a cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres for views over Puerto Plata. Natural highlights include the limestone caves of Los Tres Ojos, the 27 waterfalls of Damajaqua, and the pristine shores of Saona Island and Playa Rincón. From Spanish fortresses to vibrant seafront walkways, these sites define the island's diverse heritage.
