Begin your journey in the historic heart of Puerto Plata, strolling through the vivid “Umbrella Street” and the uniquely painted pink “Dona Blanca” lane, each bursting with character and photo opportunities.

Visit the Macorix House of Rum, where you’ll learn about the storied history of Dominican rum, sampling local varieties as you go. Then, explore a local cigar workshop to see how tobacco is rolled, gaining insight into a time-honored craft.

As you wander through the city center, stop at Plaza Independencia and the towering Cathedral of San Felipe, taking in the neoclassical and Victorian influences that echo past eras. From there, ascend to the grounds of Fortaleza San Felipe, a centuries-old fortress perched by the sea, where stories of pirate attacks and colonial defense come to life.

Pause at La Puntilla, the waterfront promenade, watching the coastal breeze mingle with city life. Throughout the tour, your guide will weave in local legends, architectural anecdotes, and cultural context, offering a compelling portrait of Puerto Plata’s past and present.

As you move from one landmark to another, short breaks allow time for photos, light tastings, and casual conversation. At the end, you’ll be dropped off either at your starting point or another convenient location within the city.
