Opis

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic boasts all the best ingredients for an idyllic vacation: crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, evenings filled with merengue and dark rum, and a world-class community of resorts. But in this geographically diverse nation, which occupies the eastern half of the island of Hispaniola, there's so much more ...tropical rain forests, mangrove swamps, vast desert expanses, not to mention the amazing array of opportunities for ecotourism and adventure travel. In this fully updated edition of the guide, intrepid traveller and Dominican Republic expert Christopher J. Baker takes you on a fascinating tour of this up-and-coming eco-destination. Beginning in the bustling, historic capital city of Santo Domingo, Baker moves on to the southeast, known for the resort zones of Punta Cana and Bavaro, remote beaches, and sugar plantations. Then it's on to the spectacular, underdeveloped Semana Peninsula, famous for its whale-watching, and to the north coast, with seemingly unending beaches and what a great life atmosphere. Christopher Columbus' first sight of the New World was upon these shores. Another chapter explores the Valle el Cibao and the central cordillera in the Dominican Republic's mountainous interior, complete with nightlife-bustling Santiago, farmlands that produce some of the world's best cigars, and endless rain forest laced with hiking trails, and finally to the southwest, land of the Taino people, the old sugar-processing town of Barahona, wildlife-rich Lago Enriquillo, and magnificent beaches.
