Puerto Plata, the eighth-largest city in the Dominican Republic, is teeming with adrenaline-fueled attractions and anxiety-eliminating beaches.

The island earns its name as it seems to be a slice of paradise sprouting from the middle of the ocean. Its white sands create a stunning contrast to the teal seawater. 

Snorkelling, eating great food, and watching schools of fish are among the many activities that await you.

Stroll through botanical gardens, identifying medicinal plants and native fruit trees. Eventually, you’ll find yourself closely interacting with the monkeys and watching them in their natural habitat, animal lovers can delight in families of friendly primates.

For those who aren’t the best hikers, hop Aboard the Caribbean’s Only Cable Car where you can absorb the bird’s eye view of the beautiful location and capture the memory with airborne photographs.

If you really want to feel at one with nature on your trip to Puerto Plata, you have to visit the 27 Charcos de Damajague, the waterfalls. 

Wearing helmets and lifejackets, you’ll adventure through the river by sliding, swimming, and jumping. The oh-so-adrenaline-fuelling twisty Corkscrew waterfall and the 20 feet drop at la Tinajita is enough to make your heart skip a beat (in the best way).

Be sure to visit this majestic locale, you will not regret it!
