Discover Puerto Plata by Hire Car
The city of Puerto Plata is located in the north of the Dominican Republic on the Atlantic Ocean.
Known for its good infrastructure and therefore excellent tourism facilities on site at Playa Dorade and Costa Dorada, Puerto Plata is nestled in tropical vegetation.
Around the region are numerous sugar cane plantations, which supply the local rum factory with the delivery of sugar cane in the production of the tasty liquor.
Sights in Puerto Plata
The most spectacular attraction of Puerto Plata is the cable car leading up to the local mountain, incidentally the only one in the Caribbean. Those who have dared the steep ascent are rewarded at the summit with a breathtaking view over the surrounding countryside.
Farther on, a botanical garden with an integrated statue of Christ has been laid out here, giving a glimpse of the island’s distinctive nature. A tour of Puerto Plata’s amber museum is no less attractive.
Leisure in Puerto Plata
The greatest fun factor is a trip to the Columbus Aguaparque, a sophisticated water fun paradise, very favored by children. Excursions with, for example, a hire car in the surrounding area take tourists to the rum factory or also to the Malecon.
The rum factory offers free guided tours followed by a tasting. And a leisurely stroll at sunset along the Malecon beachfront leaves you with an unforgettable holiday feeling.
