Things To Do in Puerto Plata

Also known as La Novia del Atlantico, Puerto Plata is a city in the Dominican Republic known for its various beach resorts. Besides beautiful beaches, warm people and great weather, there are a variety of attractions in Puerto Plata for outdoor enthusiasts.

To start your journey in Puerto Plata, head to the beautiful Damajaqua Cascades. The Damajaqua Cascades are made up of 27 different waterfalls, each with differing heights. Puerto Plata excursions to the Damajaqua Cascades are perfect for large families because the falls offer something to do for people of all ages. Make sure to carry a map with you at all times, as there are multiple trails leading up to the falls.

After a long morning trip to the Damajaqua Cascades, head to one of the must see tourist attractions in the area, Cabarete Beach. This beach, while known for its wind surfing and skim boarding, is also one of the best places in Puerto Plata to kick up your feet, enjoy the sun, and relax. Enjoy Cabarete Beach at sunset with your special someone at one of the many bars and restaurants located in the area.

Located just outside the city is Mount Isabel de Torres. A visit to Mount Isabel de Torres is one of the top things to do in Puerto Plata, primarily because of the breathtaking views you can enjoy all year long. Once you climb through the clouds in your cable car, the view of the city, and the bay will take your breath away. Expedia recommends that you visit Mount Isabel de Torres during the early evening hours to get a view of the area at sunset.

Before leaving Puerto Plata, take a side trip to Fort San Felipe. Located deep within the city itself, Fort San Felipe is one of the oldest European forts that still stands today in the Americas. This wonderfully preserved historic site should be at the top of your local Puerto Plata spots to visit during your vacation.

There is an over-abundance of Puerto Plata activities available to every tourist who visits this great city. Don't miss out on some great Puerto Plata tours and book your vacation with Expedia today!
