Puerto Plata: in the footsteps of Columbus

Until now, Puerto Plata has not undergone the massive development and traffic congestion that so often plague other cities. During your expedition of discovery through the city, you’ll undoubtedly come across the beautiful Victorian warehouses and wooden homes with verandas characteristic of the time when Puerto Plata experienced its major growth spurt. This architecture provides a charming old-fashioned atmosphere that makes the city look like a collection of irresistible gingerbread houses.

Naturally, it’s the pristine white sand beaches that have made Puerto Plata one of the most popular tourist resorts. What’s more, the northern coast of the Dominican Republic offers visitors who enjoy sports activities plenty of opportunities for golf, tennis, boating and swimming.
