About the Dominican Republic

The geography of the Dominican Republic is the most diverse in the Caribbean, ranging from desert plains to rainforest valleys to 10,000-foot high mountains to white sand beaches. Santo Domingo is the oldest city in the Americas. Its historic colonial quarter includes the Americas’ first cathedral, hospital, chapel, and university. However, the true charm and beauty of the Dominican Republic is reflected in its people.
