Indulge your fun-loving side with a spirited fiesta in Puerto Plata that includes sightseeing, rum punch, an authentic meal, and dancing the merengue!
On a panoramic drive, you'll pass through the city and along the mile-long Malecón promenade that hugs the Atlantic Ocean and its golden-sand beaches. Lovely Victorian mansions in bright Caribbean colors speak to the city's history as a wealthy sugar and cocoa town; 16th-century San Felipe Fortress is a reminder of colonial times.
Tucked into the town of El Cupe, Las Catalinas Ranch is the perfect setting to discover Dominican culture and cuisine. Learn how to make a specialty dish using vegetables and plantains, and the mamajuana beverage with rum, red wine, honey, herbs and tree bark -- quite famous in the Dominican Republic. Then, colorfully-attired folklore dancers will teach you the steps of the merengue .
