Puerto Plata

Why is the rum gone?

Favored by Canadians and Europeans for many years as a popular vacation destination, Puerto Plata has a distinctly European feel and flavor which adds to its appeal. The town of Puerto Plata, surrounded by a spectacular mountain range, offers old-world charm blended with seaside appeal.

Puerto Plata is accessible from Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP), only 20 minutes from the north coast city and neighboring tourist destinations like Cofresí, Playa Dorada, Sosúa and Cabarete.
