Puerto Plata

Due to the effects the sun made on the water as he approached it, on the North Coast of the Island Puerto Plata or "port of silver" was given its name by Christopher Columbus.  Walkin through the town of Puerto Plata you will experience and enjoy the everyday life of the locals with their colorful roadside shops offering anything from beautiful Amber and Larimar jewelry to local traditional souvenirs.  Take the opportunity to sit in the park, sip from a fresh coconut, visit one of the historic sites and bask in the warm hospital nature of the Puertoplatenos making this a truly unforgettable experience.
