Welcome to the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is one of the less expensive Caribbean vacation spots

Located on the the island of Hispaniola, with Haiti as its neighbor, the Dominican Republic is one of the less expensive Caribbean vacation spots. This large has many beach resort areas, but the major ones are Puerto Plata in the north and La Romana in the southeast. Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the West Indies, draws hikers. Those interested in ecotourism can explore the nation's rainforests.

As one would expect of the nation that produced Sammy Sosa, baseball is very popular here. The coral reefs and sunken galleons in the waters surrounding this country draw snorkelers and scuba divers as well. Santa Domingo is the country's capital and largest city; Santiago is the second largest.
