Illustrative images. The pictures in this guide are illustrations based on the real place, not photographs, and may differ from it.
A destination is a region you visit as a single trip: it can bring together several cities or be a large city with everything it offers. Each destination has the tours, the itineraries, the best time to go month by month and how to get there.
The guide currently has 8 destinations, with 22 cities in 14 provinces.
Today's highlights
A destination is more than a city: it's everything you can experience there.
The wild southwest: rocky beaches with rivers that flow into the sea, Bahía de las Águilas, Hoyo de Pelempito and Lago Enriquillo, below sea level, with crocodiles and iguanas.
The Dominican mountains: pine forests, rivers and waterfalls in Jarabacoa, the hike to Pico Duarte, the agricultural valley of Constanza, Valle Nuevo and La Vega's carnival.
Humpback whales in the bay from January to March, the El Limón waterfall, Cayo Levantado, the beaches of Las Terrenas and Playa Rincón, and the mangroves and caves of Los Haitises.
The southern coast of eastern Dominican Republic: Altos de Chavón above the river, the Cueva de las Maravillas, the fishing village of Bayahibe and the boats to Isla Saona and Isla Catalina.
The first European city in the Americas: the Ciudad Colonial with the cathedral, the Alcázar de Colón and the Fortaleza Ozama, the caves of Los Tres Ojos and the beaches of Boca Chica and Juan Dolio.
The country’s second city and the capital of the Cibao: the Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration atop the city, the Centro León, cigars, traditional merengue and the masked carnival.
The Amber Coast, on the Atlantic: the cable car to Loma Isabel de Torres, the Fortaleza San Felipe, the Amber Museum, the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, Sosúa bay and Cabarete kitesurfing.
The dry, little-visited northwest: the stone table of El Morro above the sea, the Cayos Siete Hermanos, salt flats, mangroves and a town of Victorian houses tied to Cuba's independence.
