At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Punta Cana and set off for Santo Domingo.

Firstly, we'll visit the Los Tres Ojos grotto, then we'll see the outside of the Columbus Lighthouse. Next, we'll stop outside the Presidential Palace before continuing through Santo Domingo's Ciudad Colonial.

We'll enter the Cathedral Primada de America, the oldest on the continent, and stroll along the Calle de las Damas to see the first stone house in the New World. We'll visit the National Pantheon, where notable figures of Dominican history are buried.

At the end of the visit to the aquarium, we'll return to your hotel in Santo Domingo.

Temporary Closures

The Alcázar de Colón will be closed on Mondays. On that day, we will take a panoramic tour of its exterior. It will remain closed for remodeling until further notice, and we will substitute this with a tour of the Museum of the Royal Houses. Some museums may be closed for maintenance on Mondays, and we will see them only from the outside.
