The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's most diverse destination — an island of extraordinary geographical variety that ranges from the highest peak in the Caribbean (Pico Duarte at 10,164 feet) to the lowest point (Lake Enriquillo, below sea level), from the Atlantic beaches of the north to the Caribbean coast of the south.
Punta Cana may be what the world knows, but the Dominican Republic is so much more. Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone is the oldest European city in the Americas — a UNESCO World Heritage site where every cobblestone street holds 500 years of history. The Samaná Peninsula offers whale watching and some of the most beautiful unspoiled beaches in the region.
Dominican culture is warm, loud and generous — merengue and bachata rhythms fill every space, the food is deeply satisfying and the people treat hospitality as a point of national pride. It is an island that rewards those who go beyond the resort.
