DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Ten Places You Can Explore In The Dominican Republic
by: Jonathan Williams
The Dominican Republic is a part of the Caribbean
countries. Like any other Caribbean country, this is a
favorite tourist destination by families, friends and, most
especially, newlyweds who are on their honeymoons. Here
are the ten places that you should definitely explore when
you are in the Dominican Republic.
1.) Colonial Zone
You can get to see magnificent views of the Alcazar and the
bay area in this area of Santo Domingo. Once here, you
should also visit one of the historical houses where Ponce
DeLeon lived in before he went on a journey to find the
fountain of youth and accidentally discovered Florida. You
should also see here the Ozama Fort as well as the
Cathedral.
2.) Malecon
This is a waterfront avenue where you will see lots of hotels
and casinos. You can also eat in this district’s numerous
restaurants to get a taste of the local cuisine. Also, you
have numerous shops to explore.
3.) Plaza de la Cultura
This is the area where the National Theater is located. You
can also see here the Museum of Modern Art as well as
other museums. But the most popular is the Museum of
Modern Art because it houses exhibits from famous local
artists as well as artists from other countries like Jamaica
and Bahamas as well as Puerto Rico.
4.) Upscale Santo Domingo
In Upscale Santo Domingo, you will get the opportunity to
explore the many shops that dot the principal avenues such
as Abraham Lincoln as well as Winston Churchill. You will
also love visiting quaint and expensive boutiques. Do not
forget to sample its many restaurants as well as cafes.
5.) Parque Mirador Sor
If you are tired of modern Dominican Republic, then its time
to get to know the floras and faunas of the Dominican
Republic by visiting the Parque Mirador Sor. This is a very
beautiful and remarkable park. You can also visit the Jardin
Botanico from here, another lush park.
6.) Eastern Santo Domingo
Explore Tres Ojos which is also called Three Eyes because
it is a cavern with an underground lake and an open roof.
After your visit here, then go on to Faro where you will see
a lighthouse. There is also a monument there that was
erected in memory of Christopher Columbus, which now
serves as a museum as well as his burial site.
7.) Casa De Campo Resort
You can explore this known resort located in La Romana.
Here, you will definitely enjoy modern amenities as well as
enjoy water activities like swimming and snorkeling. You
should also explore La Romana’s restaurants and sample
the local cuisine.
8.) The Village of Bonao
This is a wonderful spot for those who love nature. In this
idyllic village, you can rent a motorbike and drive yourself
around Bonao and get to know its culture. You can also opt
to go horseback riding as well as go hiking to reach the
waterfalls where you can take a dip or swim.
9.) Cabarete
This is fondly called the city of kite surfing as well as wind
surfing. If you are fond of adventure and extreme sports,
then Cabarete is the perfect place for you because of these
exhilarating sports. You can also visit the bars at night and
go bar hopping, but a word of caution though, do not walk
alone at night in the beach or in its main street.
10.) Jarabacao
The best way to explore Jarabacao is to rent a motorcycle
as this is the primary mode of transportation here. Once
here, you can visit the Salto de Jimenoa, a beautiful
waterfall that also has a pool where you can dive and swim
in. You can also explore its other waterfalls like the
Baiguate and the El Limon Waterfalls as well as the Ojo de
Agua Waterfalls.
