Around you there are only palm trees and nature. And in front of you, the bluest sea you have ever seen in your life joining the clear sky on the horizon. Ready? This place you are visualizing is a Caribbean country: the Dominican Republic.

Now you can open your eyes again. From this moment you can start planning your next trip to the Dominican Republic. And if imagining a tropical paradise in the middle of the Caribbean doesn’t convince you, here are 6 other incredible reasons to travel to the Dominican Republic.

Imagine taking a walk through the forest and suddenly running into the water falling from the waterfalls. Would you jump in for a dip? We also. The most famous waterfalls are those of Jarabacoa, since they are considered the most beautiful in the country.

3. Incredible biodiversity

The different natural settings make possible the existence of a great diversity of flora and fauna. If you are an animal lover, the Dominican Republic awaits you with a great variety so that you can enjoy them in their natural habitat (yes, without disturbing them). Our favorite natural spectacle is that of the humpback whales. During winter, these precious animals travel to the warm waters of the country to mate and have their young. Do you know in which other country this happens? Do not? Then read our article about the sighting of humpback whales in Colombia.

4. Punta Cana

There is nothing more to say about it. There are 32 kilometers of white sand beach and crystal clear waters. We can almost taste those mojitos on the shore and listen to the tropical music. Punta Cana is a place with a relaxed atmosphere, but we assure you that you will have a lot of fun. Write down Punta Cana as a mandatory stop if you travel to the Dominican Republic.

5. History and colonial architecture
