Full Description
Get ready for a full immersion into the culture, history and scenic beauty of Puerto Plata. We start with a guided visit to a rum factory where you’ll learn about production and enjoy a tasting. Then we wander through the charming streets with colourful umbrellas hanging overhead (“Umbrella Street”) and the pink-painted “Paseo de Doña Blanca” (Pink Alley) — ideal for stunning photographs.
