Just a short walk away, you can explore the charming streets of the historic district, dotted with colorful Victorian-style buildings that reflect the rich heritage of the area.

No visit to Puerto Plata would be complete without taking a ride on the Teleférico, the Caribbean's only aerial tramway, which takes you up to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city and the ocean, as well as visit the impressive Christ the Redeemer statue. Finally, don’t miss the vibrant local culture at the Amber Museum, where you can learn about the fascinating history of amber mining in the region and view some stunning pieces of amber jewelry.

Here, you’ll find local vendors showcasing their crafts and delicious street food, including the traditional mangu and sancocho, which are especially popular during the cooler season. The Malecón is also a great place for children, as they can enjoy the playgrounds while adults relax and take in the stunning ocean views.

As you continue your exploration, be sure to visit the Central Park, where you can soak in the local atmosphere and enjoy seasonal events that often take place in winter. The park is surrounded by charming cafés and shops, perfect for warming up with a hot chocolate or tasting local pastries.
