Visiting Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic


When visiting this Dominican Republic town, most will actually stay in one of the all-inclusive resorts in nearby Playa Dorada. The usual water sports are available in Puerto Plata, although the beaches are better at Dorada. Travelers will enjoy the Amber Museum, the 16th-century San Felipe Fortress, the cable car to the peak of Mount Isabel de Torres and the fresh produce and handicrafts at a market geared more for locals than tourists. Be aware that winter brings rain, so plan accordingly.
