A Land of Endless Diversity
Occupying the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic is the Caribbean’s most geographically diverse nation—home to Pico Duarte (the Caribbean’s highest peak), Lake Enriquillo (the lowest elevation), and hundreds of miles of postcard-perfect palm-lined shores.
From the cobblestone streets of Santo Domingo’s 500-year-old Colonial City to the azure waters of Saona Island and the whale sanctuaries of Samaná Bay, the Dominican Republic combines warm hospitality, vibrant bachata and merengue rhythms, and endless outdoor adventures.
