Why the Dominican Republic?
View All ToursNo hay otro! The culture, the beauty, the proximity to the US, the excursions, and the hidden gems, and the Dominican energy that draws people in. Welcome to the new, Old World! It is the first permanent settlement in the Americas, with Santo Domingo being the oldest capital city in the Western Hemisphere. The ecosystem is totally unique! 25% of the beaches and forests are national parks, reserves, or sanctuaries. Where else can you climb the Caribbean’s highest peak, touch ice, and surf in the desert, explore rain forests, and enjoy endless blue beaches? Bachata, Merengue…all Dominican and nadie baila igual. The geology is so unique, from Amber to Larimar, as is the agriculture, from cacao, and bananas, to café, the list goes on. No wonder the Godfather, Jurassic Park, and Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed here.
