It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through the Dominican Republic with us.
You won’t want for beaches in the Dominican Republic, as the country boasts beautiful coastlines, each unique and special. Punta Cana, one of the most popular, draws travelers thanks to its pristine beaches and luxury resorts, while Playa Bávaro features white sand, crystal-clear waters and coconut trees. © Valio84sl | Dreamstime.com
Colorful houses line many streets in Santo Domingo, the country’s capital. Calle Hostos, in the colonial zone of the city, is particularly vibrant with these iconic homes. © Olesia Bilkei | Dreamstime.com
One of the Caribbean’s oldest cities, Santo Domingo was first settled by the Spanish. Before their arrival, the Taíno people populated the area. Today, this lively city features culturally rich sites and landmarks, from museums to theaters to botanical gardens. See pre-Columbian Taíno art at Museo Prehispanico, too. © Giuseppe Luciano Crimeni | Dreamstime.com
Saona Island lies just 1.5 miles southeast of the country’s La Altagracia province. The island dates back to the indigenous Taíno, and centuries of history have seen several shipwrecks preserved on or around the island. Nature lovers will find mangroves, 112 species of birds, sea turtles and more on the island. © Nikolay Antonov | Dreamstime.com
Speaking of Saona Island, many cruises offer excursions to this island. Cruise lines like Norwegian Cruise Line offer immersive experiences on the island, from speedboat rides to relaxing on the beach to swimming in natural pools. © Joni Hanebutt | Dreamstime.com
While endemic Caribbean macaws are extinct, you can still visit Taíno Bay Aviaries in Puerto Plata to see a variety of other macaws and birds. Other birds endemic to the island include the Palmchat. © Gergana Valkova | Dreamstime.com
