Punta Cana is the region located at the furthest eastern point of the Dominican Republic, which is known for its gorgeous white sand beaches, luxurious resorts, and its tropical environment. Visitors can scuba dive, go deep sea fishing, have a nice night experience in Cocobongo club, swim with dolphins, etc, all under a fantastic weather and vibrant atmosphere. There are also plenty of cultural options to do which we will recommend you as follow:
A. Altos de Chavón.
Sculpted entirely of stone, Altos de Chavón —a model 16th century Mediterranean village—sits 300 feet above the Chavón River. Built over a period of six years, the village opened in 1982 with Frank Sinatra performing live at the 5,000-seat Grecian style outdoor amphitheater, where numerous world artists have since performed. Today, the village is a delightful place to tour for its charming medieval feel, its architecture, a plethora of cigar, clothing, and jewelry shops, fine dining, bars, and arts and crafts. Its centerpiece, the St. Stanislaus Church, is a popular wedding site in the DR, with its unmatched views over the river. To boot, the Altos de Chavón Archaeological Museum houses one of the most comprehensive collections on indigenous culture in the DR. The panoramic views over the Chavón River, and over the Dye Fore golf course which it borders on the east side, make Altos de Chavón a perfect photo stop on a journey through La Romana. There’s an entrance fee to pay.
