I have a friend who is going to Puerto Plata in December. Because I am Dominican she wants me to help her with some info. However, I am just as much as a tourist as any gringo. I came to the US 30 years ago when I was 11. I have only been in the DR 3 times in those 30 years, and I 've been in Puerto Plata, but only spend 2 days there.
Any information that you can give me would be so greatly appreciated. Here is part of the email that she sent to me so you can have an idea of what kind of info she wants.
" Do you have any suggestions of what we could do that is unique to Dominican republic ?ie: ruins, landmark, etc.
Also, what would be a good souvenier or take-home item that is unique to the DR? ie: rum, textile, ??
I?d love any and all info you could give me?hints on getting around, saving money. Whatever. "
The one thing I remember doing in Puerto Plata ( and loved it) was something called the " Bull ride Safari" That's when you get on the back of a camion and they take you into the country side, show you diferent plantations. The trip included a Dominican lunch and it ended with jumping off some fall. That was great. Any info about that or any other similar would be nice too.
Thank you ahead of time for taking the time to help.
