History, nature, and other splendours await you on this guided tour of Puerto Plata. The tour also includes a ride on the cable car up to the famous Isabel de Torres peak.
Puerto Plata Guided Tour
After picking you up from your hotel in Puerto Plata at the appointed time, we'll go to the city's cable car, where we'll start the tour! Onboard the cable car we'll ascend more than 800 metres and get the best panoramic views of the Isabel de Torres National Park. There we'll also appreciate a sculpture of Christ the Redeemer similar to the one in Rio de Janeiro.
After admiring the views, we'll return to the historic centre of Puerto Plata to visit one of the oldest monuments in the city: San Felipe Fortress. In this historic fortress, we'll learn more about the history of the Dominican Republic and its colonial past.
We'll then head to an amber and larimar factory; semi-precious stones that will amaze you. Do you know what amber has to do with the film Jurassic Park? You're sure to find out!
The next stops will take us deeper into discovering the culture, way of life and local produce of Puerto Plata. We'll visit the Macorix rum factory, an artisan cigar factory, a chocolate factory and finally we'll stop at the Malecón, where we can enjoy the Merengue festival. Do you know this famous Latin dance?
After the tour finishes, you'll be taken back to your hotel in Puerto Plata to relax after a day full of discovering and exploring.
