InselTrip Dominikanische Republik

The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's most popular holiday destination - and a country full of surprises. In the enchanting old town of Santo Domingo, you will encounter 500 years of colonial history at every turn. Paradisiacal beaches bring postcard motifs to life, impressive waterfalls offer a welcome refreshment and enchanted caves bear witness to the indigenous past. The green mountain range of the Central Cordillera beckons with adventurous hikes, while in the unspoilt south-west rhinoceros iguanas flit across dunes, crocodiles snooze in Lago Enriquillo and flamingos glide across the Laguna de Oviedo. Visitors experience all of this in an atmosphere characterised by omnipresent music and the infectious joie de vivre of the people.This up-to-date travel guide is the ideal companion for discovering all aspects of the Caribbean island republic independently:The most interesting places, sights and attractions presented and rated in detailThe most beautiful beaches around the islandThe best hotspots for snorkelling and diving, surfing and kitesurfingSelected providers of boat trips and excursionsSelected suppliers for boat trips, white water rafting and canyoningDiscover the island by public transport, by car or on footFive hikes for everyoneexcursions to the offshore islands of Cayo Arena, Isla Saona and Cayo LevantadoThe whole range of Dominican cuisineShopping tips from handicrafts and jewellery made from Larimar to premium cigarsThe most interesting museums and historical sitesThe most amazing customs and traditions of the Dominican people.The most amazing customs and celebrationsFeatures of the flora and faunaFrom the "dolls without faces" to the rich heritage of the Taínos: Exciting tips, excursions and background informationSelected accommodation from boutique hotels to eco lodges and glampingAll practical information on travelling, prices, tours, events, emergency assistance, transport, weather ...Small Spanish language guide with the most important vocabulary for everyday travellingInsular map.
