Today we will have a fantastic day in the First City of America, Santo Domingo. We include a panoramic visit of the city. We will visit its colonial area, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, walk through its streets, including the first street of America, ¨Las Damas¨ and reach the Primate Cathedral of America (entrance included), dedicated to Santa Maria de la Encarnacion, which was built on the orders of Pope Julius II in 1504. Next to the Cathedral, we will visit the “Parque Colón”, a place for the locals with bars and restaurants to enjoy a good time at leisure. After that, we will also visit the Ozama Fortress (entrance included), and we will arrive at the “Alcazar de Colón” (entrance included), the first of the new world.

After breakfast, we leave Santo Domingo to the East of the Dominican Republic, bordering the Caribbean Sea, to the lands of the Sugar Cane. In SAN PEDRO DE MACORIS, the birthplace of the country´s many baseball players, we stop at the Cuevas de las Maravillas (entrance included), within the protected area of the Dominican Republic declared a national park since 1977 with an area of 4.5 square kilometres near the Soco and Cumayasa Rivers. The cave is 800 metres long and it is located 25 metres underground.
