As you meander through the cobbled streets of Puerto Plata, the symphony of the Caribbean will serenade you — the faint strumming of a guitar and the soft rustling of palm leaves. Perhaps our favorite town in the Dominican Republic, this historic city is nestled between crashing waves and towering mountains creating a surreal and beautiful landscape. Art aficionados can further their cultural journey at the Gregorio Luperón House Museum, an elegantly preserved window into the Dominican Republic's proud history. For the epicurean traveler, Puerto Plata is an oasis. Savor the melding of Taino, Spanish, and African flavors, creating dishes that are a feast for both the palate and the eyes. Imagine dining al fresco, with the symphony of waves playing in the background, and a plate of mofongo paired with a refreshing morir soñando. For the adventurer, one can find surfing or windsurfing on a day trip east of Puerto Plata in the town of Cabarete. Or head into the mountains on an ATV and ziplining tour to catch a view and get the adrenaline pumping. Luxury seekers will find solace in the upscale resorts that line the city’s coast, offering world-class spas, golf courses, and immersive cultural events. The essence of Puerto Plata is its harmonious blend of the luxurious and the authentic, ensuring each visitor leaves with a heart full of cherished moments.
