Itinerary
First street of America
It is the only known residence of a member of the Christopher Columbus's family,[1] his first-born son Diego Columbus.
The building stands on the grounds of the former Presidential Mansion (Mansión Presidencial), built during the United States military occupation of 1916-1924.
Theater
Originally built in 1508 it is now the home of a very informative museum explaining the rich history of this island and the country of Dominican Republic. It also houses a collection of weapons once owned by the Dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina.
When you enter the cathedral you will feel a calmness come over you. Seeing the interior for the first time is a real experience. It is so quiet, relaxing, and overpowering and yet it has such a reverent feeling. Make sure to look up toward the heavens and notice the vaulted ceiling made to look like palm branches representing the original roof of the first church. There are many different chapels inside the large structure. The stained glass is magnificent.
is the oldest constantly inhabited city in all of “The Americas”. It is a small town nestled in the capital city of Santo Domingo on the most beautiful island in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic.
The monument is both a mausoleum and a museum showcasing objects including a boat from Cuba and Colombian jewelry. Constructed of concrete, the monument is 680 feet (210 m) long.[3] Its architecture is cross-shaped and represents the Christianization of the Americas.

Wow! Miguel was absolutely phenomenal, his deep knowledge of the island, passion for the island and love of his job shone through. We were the only two on the tour who weren’t Spanish speakers and didn’t feel like we missed a beat! Well worth it! S/o to Renee for getting us there and back safely!

About Punta Cana
Punta Cana, on the Dominican Republic's eastern tip, is a coast of palm-lined white beaches, calm reef-protected water and easygoing island days.
The area stretches along a long sweep of coastline, from Bávaro Beach and Cabeza de Toro to Macao and Uvero Alto, where coconut palms lean over soft white sand. Coral reefs offshore keep the water calm and clear in many spots, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and catamaran outings along the shore.
Top-ranked sights in Punta Cana: Macao Beach (Playa Macao), Bavaro Beach (Playa Bavaro), Coco Bongo Punta Cana.
