Description

Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel in Miches in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus. Travel to Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic’s capital city. Make your first stop at Los Tres Ojos, a popular natural park with three crystal-clear limestone lagoons and caves. Take a short walk and snap some photos of this stunning natural wonder. Next, head to the Colonial Zone, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas. Visit the Catedral Primada de América, the oldest cathedral in the Americas, built starting in 1504. Continue to the Alcázar de Colón, the historic fortified palace of Diego Columbus, son of Christopher Columbus. Explore the Plaza de España, a historic square surrounded by colonial buildings, including the Museo de las Casas Reales. Visit the Panteón Nacional, the national pantheon and burial site of Dominican heroes, and stroll down Calle Las Damas, the oldest paved street in the Americas. See the Fortaleza Ozama, one of the oldest military fortresses in the New World. Enjoy some free time to walk, take photos, browse small shops, or enjoy a coffee in the colonial streets. Most city tours include an optional Dominican lunch in a local restaurant, featuring traditional dishes like rice, beans, stews, and fried plantains. Take in panoramic views of the Columbus Lighthouse, a huge cross-shaped monument honoring Christopher Columbus, and enjoy views of the Malecón waterfront, a scenic coastal boulevard with sea views.
