Dominican Republic :
Occupying the eastern half of the
island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic (or the DR, as it's often
known) is a hugely popular destination, thanks to the portion of the
country that most resembles the image of a Caribbean playland: the
crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches lined with palm trees, of which the
DR has plenty. This vision of leisurely days spent by the sea and romantic
nights filled with merengue and dark rum is supported by what turns out to
be the largest all-inclusive resort industry in the world.
Set on the most geographically diverse Caribbean island, the DR also
boasts virgin alpine wilderness, tropical rainforests and mangrove swamps,
cultivated savannas, vast desert expanses and everything in between within
its relatively small confines - slightly smaller than the US states of New
Hampshire and Vermont combined - providing staggering opportunities for
ecotourism and adventure traveling.
The DR also lays claim to some of the more intriguing culture and history
in the area, dating back to its early cave-dwelling groups, the Taínos ,
who recorded much of their activities in the form of rock art - it's quite
likely you'll find yourself clambering down a dark cave to view some of
these preserved paintings during your stay. In addition, as Dominicans are
often quick to point out, their land was the setting for Christopher
Columbus's first colony, La Isabela, and Spain's first New World city,
Santo Domingo , at the end of the fifteenth century. Though the island
quickly lost this foothold, the events that took place during its brief
heyday did much to define the Americas as we know them.

Region of Puerto Plata, DR :
The
Dominican Republic's SILVER COAST , 300km of prime waterfront
property on the country's northern edge, is the most popular tourist
destination in the Caribbean. With a seemingly unending supply of great
beaches around the booming towns of Puerto Plata and Cabarete
, such a designation is no surprise. The Carretera 5 skirts the coast all
the way east from Samaná to just past Puerto Plata, making getting
around this part of the region a breeze. The country's two major bus
companies ply the highway, along with the guaguas and plentiful
público taxis. Heading west of Puerto Plata is more of a challenge
(but not impossible) if you don't have a four-wheel-drive.
