Head to the historically and culturally rich city of Puerto Plata. This is your opportunity to walk through the city center and see the local Plastic Artists' Art Galleries. Learn about the late 19th- and early 20th-century Victorian-style architecture, with its pastel colors and gingerbread motifs.
Visit the La Aurora Cigar Experience for a cigar rolling demonstration, with a taste included.
Walk through the La Confluencia ethnography gallery to understand the island's Taino inhabits and their legacy in the Caribbean. Learn about their lifestyle from a collection of Native vessels, utensils and tools.
Next, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant with a spiced-rum tasting by Macorix.
Your journey continues along the malecón (waterfront) to see San Felipe Fortress. Built in 1564, the fort was intended to protect the city from pirate activity.
Stroll to various art galleries, shops, and San Felipe Cathedral at Independence Square. Taste fresh tropical coconut water — the beverage taking the world by storm.
