What you can expect

  • On this experience, we'll thoroughly explore every iconic landmark in the tourist area of Santo Domingo, providing detailed information and taking the time needed to do so.

    Santo Domingo de Guzmán is undoubtedly one of the most captivating cities in the Caribbean and holds the distinction of being the first city founded in the New World in 1496. This beautiful capital city invites you to discover its attractions, and with our excursion, you'll be able to do just that.

    Our itinerary starts with a visit to Three Eyes National Park, an astonishing combination of caves and cenotes that are characterised by their high mineral content and a beauty that is hard to put into words.

    We'll then continue our tour at the Faro a Colón lighthouse, a Dominican landmark and museum built in honour of Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of the New World. Inside the lighthouse, there are exhibits from different countries around the world. It also has rooms for temporary exhibitions and
    conference rooms.

    We'll then head to the Colonial Zone, the first city of the New World, home to the most notable and majestic buildings from the colonial era. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore the First Cathedral of the New World, the Alcázar de Diego Colón, the famous Calle Las Damas, and other 15th-century colonial landmarks, such as:

    • Royal Houses Museum
    • National Pantheon
    • Columbus Park
    • Fortaleza Ozama
    • Duarte Museum
    • Taino Museum

    Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll explore the Zona Colonial to admire its most iconic landmarks and architecture. You'll learn about the life of the Spanish conquistadors as you visit the Alcázar de Diego Colón, the residence of the Great Admiral's family.
