Panoramic Puerto Plata

Puerto Plata is a city with particular historical significance; many of the principal events that took place in the years following the discovery of the Americas took place here. Join your guide and take a leisurely trip to discover the rich, but largely unknown history of this charming city. Keep your eyes peeled as you drive through the Malecón and the impressive San Felipe Fortress appears. This imposing fortress was built in 1564 to protect the city from pirate attacks. As you continue your tour around the city you will pass by the colourful architecture of the local art galleries and the Cathedral San Felipe, before making a stop at Plaza Independencia (former Central Park), for a guided walk of the city’s most cherished open spaces and a visit to a local souvenir shop.
