Puerto Plata vacations 

From its dense mountaintops to golden-sand coast, Puerto Plata offers an experience for every traveller on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic.   

The city is steeped in history, with colonial-era buildings lining the streets and sites like Fort San Felipe, a historic Spanish fortress, worth a visit. Travellers will enjoy a ride on the Teleferico cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres for unforgettable city views and potential sightings of Hispaniolan parrots and red-tailed hawks.    

There are also numerous stretches of sand just outside of the city that rank among the country’s best, including Playa Dorada, Playa Cofresí, Playa Sosua with colourful beachfront markets and Playa Cabarate, known for its ideal windsurfing conditions. For more adventure, dune buggy tours are available or explore the cascades of the Damajagua Waterfalls.
