The city of Puerto Plata is lined by an oceanfront boulevard (Esplanade) known for its open-air restaurants, shops, and nightlife. This is a scenic area to explore and enjoy Dominican culture. Right at the very end of the seafront you will see the massive stone walls of The Fortress of San Felipe, the oldest military fortification in the Americas.

Next stop is to the real heart of Puerto Plata as we stroll around the famous Central park. This is surrounded by original Victorian gingerbread houses, museums and the picturesque Cathedral Iglesia San Felipe. In the centre stands the stunning Victorian Bandstand. Just off Central park the wonderful Amber Museum is located. The Amber Museum is perhaps one of Puerto Plata’s best known tourist attractions and features collections of fossilised resin (Amber), some of which contain remarkably preserved specimens dating back thousands of years.

At The Brugal Rum Distillery, you will be escorted inside the huge distillery which produces about a million and a half litres of white and dark rum each year. We also make a stop to visit the Del Oro chocolate factory! Smell, taste, eat and drink the wonderful hand crafted chocolate made from organic cocoa plants cultivated and grown right here on the north coast of the Dominican Republic! We also visit the Cable Car (teleférico) located on the top of Mount Isabel (2555 feet or 855 metres above sea). End your day with a delicious typical Dominican lunch.
