Take a tour of City of Puerto Plata in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Puerto Plata, capital of the province by the same name, is one of the Dominican Republic’s greatest cities.
It is a beautiful coastal locale, with many sights that draw visitors from all over the world.
The city’s mountain, Pico Isabel de Torres, has a replica of the Christ the Redeemer statue and a large garden at its peak.
Rather than climb the 2,600 feet to the mountaintop, visitors can take Puerto Plata’s aerial tram car.
This area was one of the first settlements to be founded after the Americas were discovered by European explorers.
Getting out from the city, there are the beautiful Caribbean beaches to visit for swimming, surfing, or sunning.
