Nature Experiences in the Dominican Republic

For many, the Dominican Republic symbolizes exotic vacation dreams: sun, beach, sea, and Caribbean joy of life. Christopher Columbus encountered some of the most beautiful plains in the world here in December 1492, which almost resembled the land of Castile, only more beautiful. For this reason, he named the island "La Hispaniola," while its indigenous inhabitants honored it with the name "Quisqueya," fertile Mother Earth.

However, many vacationers are unaware that the Dominican Republic offers more than just sun and beautiful beaches. With its mountains over 3,000 meters high, canyons, caves, savannah areas, lagoons, islands, and its fascinating past, the island offers a unique variety of activities - whether it's culture, hiking, biking, canyoning, river rafting, or bathing under a tropical waterfall.
