San Felipe de Puerto Plata, located between Loma Isabel de Torres and the Atlantic Ocean.
On January 11, 1493, Christopher Columbus arrived at what is now known as the Bay of Puerto Plata. Since then Puerto Plata was a strategic and very important place thanks to its port, through which all the agricultural products that were acquired from the fertile lands of the north of the Dominican Republic were shipped.
This historic city, in its historic center, offers a journey through time: it has a beautiful Victorian and Colonial architecture revealing the fascinating history of this city.
Its main distinguishing characteristic is that it is a smiling, friendly and hospitable city, thanks to the kindness that its people, as those who visit it proudly express.
In the middle of the Isabel de Torres mountain and the cozy warmth of its beautiful beaches is a town that due to its characteristics make this place a must-visit.
