What you can expect

On this experience, we'll thoroughly explore every iconic point of Santo Domingo's tourist area, giving you detailed information and taking the time to do so.

Santo Domingo de Guzmán is, without a doubt, one of the most captivating cities in the Caribbean and holds the title of being the first city founded in the New World in 1496. This beautiful capital city invites you to discover its attractions, and with our tour, you can do just that.

Our itinerary kicks off with a visit to the Three Eyes National Park, an amazing combination of grottos and cenotes that are characterised by their high mineral content and a beauty that's hard to put into words.

We'll continue our tour at the Columbus Lighthouse, a Dominican monument and museum built in honour of Christopher Columbus, discoverer of the New World. Inside the lighthouse, you'll find exhibits from different countries around the world. It also has rooms for temporary exhibitions and
conference rooms.

Then, we'll head to the Colonial Zone, the first city in the New World, where you'll find the most outstanding and majestic buildings from the colonisation era. Here you'll have the chance to explore the First Cathedral of the New World, the Alcázar de Diego Colón, the famous Calle Las Damas, and other 15th-century colonial monuments such as:

• Royal Houses Museum.
• National Pantheon.
• Parque Colon.
• Ozama Fortress
• Duarte Museum
• Taino Museum

Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll explore the Colonial Zone to admire the most outstanding monuments and architecture. You'll learn about the life of the Spanish conquistadors while visiting the Alcázar de Diego Colón, the residence of the Grand Admiral's family.
