Description

Puerto Plata, with its long history, is best explored and experienced on foot. On our 4-hour walking tour in the old town area you will visit the the most important sights.
The walking tour begins at the former Puerto Plata train station and leads to one of the city's most historic squares: the Fortelaza San Felipe.
From the fortress that once protected the city, the route leads to the photo spot on the city's most important street, the "Malecon" promenade.
From here, the route leads directly into the old town, where a small pedestrian zone and the renowned Monsenor cigar factory await us with a short tour.
With a typical Dominican ice cream, we head to the center of the city - Independance Park with the town hall and San Felipe Cathedral.
After a short stop at Island Treasures, where you can buy souvenirs and small gifts, we head to what are probably the most famous squares in the city: the all-pink "Paseo Dona Blanca" and the street of umbrellas.
Once the photos have been taken, it's time to indulge your taste buds: at "La Chocolateria", you will learn all about the cultivation and production of Dominican chocolate, including snacking, of course.
The last point of the tour takes you to the DomRep's most famous export product, the rum producer Macorix.
In the Macorix Museum, you will learn all about the production and history of the company, including a tasting, of course.
Our tour ends after around 4 hours at the Macorix Museum.
