New adventures in this destination are coming soon.
Puerto Plata is on the Atlantic north coast, under the Isabel de Torres mountain and its cable car. The 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, the amber museum and the Victorian centre of the city are the usual stops.
It is the furthest destination we reach from Punta Cana, around five hours by road, so it is normally visited as part of a multi-day itinerary rather than a single day out. The Atlantic here is rougher than the Caribbean side, which is why it is the country's windsurfing coast.
