Puerto Plata's Best-Of Tour
No visit to Puerto Plata is complete without a visit to Macorix House of Rum, where you'll learn about the making of this alcohol dating back to 1899.
You'll head to Puerto Plata's Central Park, a lively town square centered around a giant gazebo where live music and entertainment often play. Check out the city's best-known museums, dedicated to amber (yes, the mineral) and to Gregorio Luperon, the beloved general who helped the DR attain its independence. Take in the breeze and views at Fortress de San Felipe before your drive back to the pier.
