Dominican Republic cruises

La Romana is a town in the Dominican Republic and with its stunning seaside location, is the perfect place to discover the wonders of this part of the world. An unmissable site is Altos de Chavon, a 16th-century Mediterranean village which has become a cultural centre for local artists to showcase their work. On the theme of art, Cueva de las Maravillas is a breathtaking network of illuminated caves where guided tours will lead visitors along a slippery trail to marvel at old drawings of indigenous tribes. Back out into daylight and it goes without saying that there are miles of lovely sandy beaches on which to reap the benefits of the Carribean sunshine, but for those willing to go a little further afield, Saona Island offers an even more tranquil location, as well as the chance to explore the fascinating marine life on this coastline.
