class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"santo-domingo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Santo-Domingo\"><\/span>Santo Domingo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt, one of the first things to do in the Dominican Republic is to <strong>visit its spectacular capital<\/strong>. As you&#8217;d expect, Santo Domingo<strong> is the largest city in the country,<\/strong> which offers a wide variety of activities and places to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take a tour around the city to discover some of its most iconic spots, such as the <strong>Parque Col\u00f3n<\/strong>, which is a large square where you can see several buildings and monuments of great historical value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend continuing on to the <strong>Catedral Primada de Am\u00e9rica<\/strong>, as it was the first religious building to be built on the entire continent. You will be able to admire the mixture of Gothic and Renaissance architecture and ornamentation. It is a visual spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can pay a visit to the <strong>Plaza de Espa\u00f1a<\/strong>, located in front of the famous Alc\u00e1zar de Col\u00f3n. As it is a very lively area where you can enjoy a unique atmosphere and even stop for a bite to eat in some of the many bars and restaurants. You&#8217;ll love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, when you feel like taking a break from the city, we suggest a trip to<strong> Los Tres Ojos National Park<\/strong>. It is located very close to the city, and is a truly impressive natural setting. There you can visit a spectacular cavern by the lake where you can take a dip.

href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/dominican-republic\/saona-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saona Island<\/a>, a small island that is one of the most visited spots in Punta Cana. <strong>This small tropical paradise<\/strong> offers some of the most beautiful beaches and natural scenery in the country, so it is not a place you want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, we recommend visiting the small village of <strong>Mano Juan<\/strong>, probably the only inhabited spot on the island. You&#8217;ll find a small fishing village and wooden houses that will charm you. And all this is right on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another natural site you can miss on Saona Island is the impressive <strong>Cotubanam\u00e1 Cave<\/strong>. It is located close to the famous Laguna de los Flamencos, where you can find the remains of an ancient indigenous civilisation. Don&#8217;t miss out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we suggest diving in the<strong> Caballo Blanco Reef<\/strong>, where you can see an infinite number of marine and plant species that hide under these crystal clear waters. And, if snorkelling isn&#8217;t your thing, you can always take a boat tour and cruise through the mangroves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

Macor\u00eds is on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, offering<strong> a wealth of stunning beaches and water activities<\/strong>. However, here you can enjoy much more than just the sand and the sea, as it has large natural spaces away from the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, we recommend you to visit the interesting <strong>Centro Hist\u00f3rico: Ron Barcel\u00f3<\/strong>. Visiting this museum is one of the best things to do in the Dominican Republic. There you can learn about the production of the famous Dominican rum, one of the country&#8217;s most culturally important products. At the end of the visit, you can taste several samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t miss the <strong>Cueva de las Maravillas<\/strong>, one of the most beautiful and most visited natural spots in San Pedro de Macor\u00eds. Inside you will discover a series of cave paintings that are thousands of years old, as well as natural rock formations that will leave you totally amazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we suggest visiting the small town of <strong>Juan Dol\u00edo<\/strong>, located just 16 kilometres from the city. It is the ideal place to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and stroll around its many craft shops. It is truly charming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more places to see, read our post: <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/dominican-republic\/things-to-do-in-san-pedro-de-macoris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Things to do in San Pedro de Macor\u00eds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"catalina-island\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catalina-Island\"><\/span>Catalina Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Isla Catalina is a little corner of paradise that should be at the top of your list of things to do in the Dominican Republic. It is <strong>close to La Romana<\/strong>, one of the busiest areas in the country. You will be able to enjoy some of the best beaches and make the most of the absolute peace in a practically unspoilt place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you have to try when you get to Catalina Island is <strong>scuba diving or snorkelling<\/strong>, as this island has the best places to do these sports. You can dive and discover the impressive <strong>Muro<\/strong>, a 100-metre deep wall, or the <strong>Acuario<\/strong>, where you can see impressive coral reefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also go to<strong> La Romana<\/strong>, where you will find an endless number of activities, both aquatic and urban. In addition, there you will find several iconic spots in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out the rest of the island&#8217;s secrets by reading this post: <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/dominican-republic\/things-to-do-on-catalina-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Things to do on Catalina Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"20003\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/dominican-republic\/things-to-do-in-dominican-republic\/attachment\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"819,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?fit=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"trip to Dominican Republic\" class=\"wp-image-20003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?w=819&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/catalina-island-dominican-republic-travel.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Catalina Island &#8211; Dominican Republic Travel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"los-haitises-national-park\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Los-Haitises-National-Park\"><\/span>Los Haitises National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Haitises National Park is, without a doubt, the most important and impressive natural space in the Dominican Republic.

You can discover its different archaeological remains in extensive underground rooms. This is certainly an excursion you cannot miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is the <strong>Taino Tropical Rainforest<\/strong>, where you can walk through a vast expanse of nature and biodiversity that leaves everyone speechless. It has several trails to follow so you can take longer or shorter walking routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, don&#8217;t miss a visit to Para\u00edso Ca\u00f1o Hondo. It is an ecological hotel located in the middle of the park, surrounded by a tropical environment that will make your stay a unique experience.

As well as being able to enjoy the stunning sand and sea, it&#8217;s the ideal place to snorkel or come and spend the day with the kids; you&#8217;ll be able to swim in peace and quiet thanks to the gentle waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another beach we recommend is Playa el Portillo, probably one of the liveliest in the area. In addition to its incredible turquoise waters, you can also find many places to stop for lunch or dinner to try some typical Dominican dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more things to do, read our post: <a

This beach offers a stunning combination of sea, sand and nature that will make you never want to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out about the rest of the paradisiacal beaches hidden in this part of the country in the post:<a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/dominican-republic\/things-to-do-in-punta-cana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Things to do in Punta Cana.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-attachment-id=\"20030\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/dominican-republic\/things-to-do-in-dominican-republic\/attachment\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?fit=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,681\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?fit=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?resize=1024%2C681&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tourism in Dominican Republic\" class=\"wp-image-20030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/trip-to-punta-cana-dominican-republic.jpeg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Punta Cana &#8211; Dominican Republic Travel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samana-bay\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samana-Bay\"><\/span>Saman\u00e1 Bay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Samana Bay is <strong>one of the least exploited spots in the Dominican Republic<\/strong>, offering <strong>some of the best unspoilt natural areas in the country.<\/strong> Here you can enjoy more peace and quiet on its clean, white sands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first beach that stands out in this bay is Playa El Valle, largely due to the natural landscape that surrounds it. You can enjoy a sunny morning in an idyllic setting, and go to one of its bars or restaurants once you have finished sunbathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we recommend visiting Playa Rinc\u00f3n, which has more than 3 kilometres of white sands and turquoise waters. It is the most lively, since despite being a quiet place, it offers all kinds of services, perfect for a fun-filled day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading our post about <a

has<strong> a mixture of indigenous, Spanish and African influences<\/strong>. That is why this type of cuisine has such specific and unique flavours in each of its dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most typical Dominican dishes is the famous <strong>Dominican flag<\/strong>, made with white rice, green salad, beans and stewed chicken. A delicious combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another dish you must try is <strong>mang\u00fa<\/strong>, usually served at breakfast. It consists of mashed plantain with eggs, cheese, salami and red onion. The mixture can be a bit strange if you&#8217;re not used to it, but the taste is really worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we recommend trying <strong>sancocho<\/strong>. It is a broth made with different types of meat and vegetables, usually served at home. It is one of the best hot dishes in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-do-in-dominican-republic-in-a-week\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-in-Dominican-Republic-in-a-week\"><\/span>What to do in Dominican Republic in a week?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Visit Santo Domingo<\/li><li>Go to Samana Bay<\/li><li>Spend a day on Saona Island<\/li><li>Visit Los Haitises National Park<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-do-in-the-dominican-republic-in-two-weeks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-in-the-Dominican-Republic-in-two-weeks\"><\/span>What to do in the Dominican Republic in two weeks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Visit San Pedro de Macoris<\/li><li>Visit Catalina Island<\/li><li>Tour Las Terrenas<\/li><li>Enjoy Punta Cana<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-dominican-republic&amp;utm_term=2\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORGANIse your DOMINICAN republic travel route<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-organise-your-itinerary-of-places-to-see-in-the-dominican-republic\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-organise-your-itinerary-of-places-to-see-in-the-Dominican-Republic\"><\/span><strong>How to organise your itinerary of places to see in the Dominican Republic?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-dominican-republic&amp;utm_term=natural\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up to Passporter<\/a> and create your itinerary in the easiest and most dynamic way.\u00a0You&#8217;ll find a wide variety of ideas and inspiration on what to see and do in the Dominican Republic.
