About Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic in the West Indies occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with Haiti. Tourists who come to Dominican Republic are initially attracted by the magnificent golden sand beaches along its 1,400km coastline.

Santo Domingo, in the south, features the very first monuments of the American continent: the first cathedral, the first hospital, the first chapel and the first university.

A site worth visiting is the Zona Colonial, the landing point of the Spanish conquest of the Americas, and a post once occupied by Christopher Columbus son, Diego.
