🐋 Beaches, Cacao & Colonial Streets:
Caves, Falls & Humpbacks
🐋 Dominican Republic — Overview
The DR swings from all-inclusive beaches to amber-stone cities and jungle waterfalls. In Punta Cana, catamarans, buggies, and Saona Island fill easy days; Puerto Plata adds cable-car peaks and the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua.

Guided combos bundle transport, park permits, and skip-the-guesswork beach time.
