Punta Cana Dominican Republic

Punta Cana is a tourist area on the eastern cape of the Dominican Republic. The region is home to white sandy beaches. Punta Cana has a tropical climate, although it is slightly windy, the sea in the area is mainly shallow, with several natural marine pools in which visitors can swim. The climate is fairly constant. The hottest season lasts from April to November. It is suggested to wear light cotton clothing. The most important sites to see and visit in Punta Cana are: Altos de Chavón, today resembles a 16th century Mediterranean village; it is situated on a spectacular cliff, with a hillside overlooking the winding Chavón River. It is home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, an archaeological museum, craft workshops, art studios and a variety of galleries and restaurants. There is also Juanillo, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Dominican Republic. Until a few years ago it was a very small fishing village a few kilometers from the Punta Cana airport and is now a major tourist attraction. Santo Domingo, another must-see, was the first European settlement in the Western Hemisphere. It has preserved its colonial heritage for more than five centuries, and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Admire the Alcazar de Colon or also known as the Palace of Diego, son of Christopher Columbus. Finally, enjoy the paradisiacal Saona Island, located in the natural reserve southeast of Cotubanamá National Park or also called Del Este National Park. Relax on its wonderful white sandy beaches with large palm trees and the gentle waves of the Caribbean waters.
