Day Trip to Puerto Plata from Santo Domingo

Spend a day in Puerto Plata, a colonial port city tucked between the Cordillera mountains and the blue Atlantic along the Dominican Republic’s northern coast. Starting from Santo Domingo, travel by private coach with an informative guide through Puerto Plata’s historic center. Inside the Amber Museum, learn why Dominican amber is considered some of the finest in the world. After a delicious lunch in town, ascend Mt Isabel de Torres on the only aerial tramway in the Caribbean, and capture dramatic ocean views from Fort San Felipe.
