| Puerto Plata Half-Day Tour |
|
A half day tour to the harbor town of Puerto Plata. Puerto Plata is the biggest town on the north coast. We are going to the old part of the town with colorful Victorian houses.  Here you will also have a chance to walk around on your own or maybe shop a bit. We also visit the factory of the Dominican "gasoline", the Brugal rum factory. Here you have the chance to taste the rum and also buy it to a good price. The north cost in Spanish is Costa De Ambar and the reason to this name is because here you find much amber. At the big Amber Museum we get to see very old insects that once was caught in the floating amber millions of years ago. It was from this place that Steven Spielberg got the idea to his movie-Jurassic Park. The old fort from the colonial time is at the harbor of Puerto Plata and this was built to protect the city from the pirates. Here we make a stop to feel the long lost time. On this tour you will learn a lot about culture, rum and things on the way. Don't forget your camera.  |
