GARCIA JESUS TRANSFER TOURS

Colonial Puerto Plata has plenty to see, so this whistle-stop tour lets you take in the highlights. And as it’s a private experience exclusively for you and your party, you’ll get even more from your guide on the history, heritage and culture of this Caribbean city.

You’ll take in Isabel de Torres, a mountain on the outskirts of the city, from a sky-high cable car. The mountain is almost 800 metres high and at its peak, lies a beautiful botanical garden – the world’s highest in fact. You’ll also visit a rum distillery, where you can taste different varieties of the Dominican Republic’s most popular spirit.

Finally, you’ll have time to take snapshots of the town centre. It’s a jumble of pretty colonial houses, and old shops shelved with hand-rolled cigars and amber-adorned jewellery.
