Activity itinerary

The 3 Eyes National Park
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
The Dominican Republic’s Three Eyes National Park is a nature reserve and open-air limestone cave system with a series of crystal clear lakes known as the “eyes.” Located in the capital, Santo Domingo, just ten minutes by car from the popular Colonial Zone, the park provides a sweet respite from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. Along with a guided tour, these caves also offer deeper insights into the pre-colonial and ancestral origins of the Dominican Republic.
Calle Las Damas (Pass by)
Calle Las Damas/ Street of the Ladies is the oldest street in the Americas. It is a beautiful street lined with historical buildings from the original settlement of Santo Domingo. Was originally named Calle de la Fortaleza/ The street of Strength or Fortress when it was created in 1502 during the reign of Nicolás de Ovando. The street has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Alcazar de Colon
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
It is the only known residence of a member of the Christopher Columbus's family, his first-born son Diego Columbus.
Museo De Las Casas Reales
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Originally built in 1508 it is now the home of a very informative museum explaining the rich history of this island and the country of Dominican Republic. It also houses a collection of weapons once owned by the Dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina.
Theater of Fine Arts (Pass by)
This is a great independent theatre, the only one in Santo Domingo actually.
Zona Colonial
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
is the oldest constantly inhabited city in all of “The Americas”. It is a small town nestled in the capital city of Santo Domingo on the most beautiful island in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic.
Columbus Lighthouse (Faro A Colon) (Pass by)
The monument is both a mausoleum and a museum showcasing objects including a boat from Cuba and Colombian jewellery. Constructed of concrete, the monument is 680 feet (210 m) long.[3] Its architecture is cross-shaped and represents the Christianization of the Americas.
Basilica Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
When you enter the cathedral you will feel a calmness come over you. Seeing the interior for the first time is a real experience. It is so quiet, relaxing, and overpowering and yet it has such a reverent feeling. Make sure to look up towards the heavens and notice the vaulted ceiling made to look like palm branches representing the original roof of the first church. There are many different chapels inside the large structure. The stained glass is magnificent.
