General

The Dominican Republic is a fertile land located in the east of the island of Haiti, surrounded by the waves of the Caribbean Sea. The capital is sultry Santo Domingo, the birthplace of standard cigars, the cradle of incendiary merengue. The first association with the Dominican Republic is endless beaches of amazing beauty: with snow-white sand, spreading palm trees, and gentle sea - indispensable attributes of a tropical paradise. But this is by no means the only thing that the country delights travelers with. There are many noteworthy attractions here: architecture that incorporates island traditions and features of European styles, national parks with breathtaking nature.
