What to do in Puerto Plata: a perfect-day guide
Waterfalls in the morning, historic downtown at noon, beach at sunset: how to build the ideal day on the north coast.
Start early at the Damajagua Waterfalls, when the water is freshest and crowds are thinnest. At noon walk the historic center: San Felipe Fortress, Umbrella Street and a rum tasting. End the day at Sosúa beach or strolling the boardwalk.
If you're arriving by cruise ship, the half-day city tour gets you back to port with plenty of margin. And if you're staying several days, save Cayo Arena for the best beach day of your trip.
