Dominican Republic
The white-sand beaches, impressive mountain
ranges veined with spectacular rivers and waterfalls, and
saltwater lakes teeming with exotic wildlife are just part
of the Dominican Republic's appeal. Whether you're looking
to party, relax or explore, the Dominican Republic has a lot
to offer.
Steer a small boat through endless mangrove forests in search
of gentle manatees. Spy on lovesick humpback whales in the
Bahía de Samaná. And once you've had your fill
of this exquisite island's natural wonder, get back to civilization
and prepare to party.
The locals throw festivals, parties and carnivals like there's
no tomorrow. Folks in the Americas' first European city, Santo
Domingo, don't just spend their time admiring the fine colonial
architecture gracing their home. Nope, this town has not one,
but two complete Carnivals, complete with parades, elaborate
floats, lots of live music and plenty of dancing in the streets.
Pre-Lent Carnivals are celebrated in Santiago, Cabral, Monte
Cristi and La Vega as well. If that's not enough, check out
the country's two major merengue festivals, the annual Latin
Music Festival and the national surfing and windsurfing championships.
