The National Botanical Garden of Santo Domingo, the largest of its kind in the Caribbean, is one of the city’s leading tourist attractions. This month’s annual orchids contest makes the timing even better for a visit. The Dominican Orchidology Society presents its 41st exhibition “Orchids in the Enchanted Forest” and the 31st National Orchids Contest on 7, 8, 9, 10 March at the National Botanical Garden. Open every day, 8am to 6pm.
