Santo Domingo: Historic Heart of Dominican Republic

Zona Colonial : All of the historical landmarks of the city are located within this popular site. Explore and learn about its fascinating history!

Tres Ojos National Park: Limestone cave with a serene landscape.

If you happen to visit the country in February, do not miss The Cojuelo Devil’s Carnival! It is tradition.

Partying, dancing and rum is what we do best besides baseball, of course.

Dominican food is a mix of Spanish, African and Taino influences which is just as diverse as its people.

Start the day with a very popular breakfast, “Tres Golpes” which literally translates to “three strikes or hits”, I have no idea why!- it is a traditional Dominican dish comprised of mash plantains, eggs, Dominican salami, fried cheese and of course avocado. Ask a Dominican, the meal is not complete without an avocado!

Enjoy this meal with a “Morir soñando” which translates to “die dreaming” (yes, another one I can’t explain). It is a drink made of orange juice & milk. I am assuming it has that name because it is soooo good!

As hot as it gets outside we are pretty big on our stews so for  lunch and/or dinner have a “Sancocho”, a stew with an array of vegetables and meats or the popular “La Bandera” with rice, beans, chicken or beef, tostones and yes avocado!

If you’re looking to add more spice to your vacation then have some Mama Juana. No, it is not an old lady named Mama Juana! It is our “national drink” made of rum, wine and spices/herbs. Rumor has it that it is an aphrodisiac.

Nightlife is just a vibrant as the day so go have fun!
