Depart the port and travel through vibrant Puerto Plata before beginning a scenic, fully narrated ascent to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres. Rising 2,555 feet above sea level, this lush peak offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding mountains. Stroll through the beautifully landscaped botanical gardens, visit a traditional “Casa Típica,” and capture memorable photos at the iconic Christ the Redeemer of Puerto Plata statue. Return to the city’s historic district and stop at Fort San Felipe for historical commentary and spectacular ocean views from the exterior of this iconic fortress. Continue to Parque Independencia, the lively heart of the city, where Victorian architecture surrounds the square and the beautiful Catedral San Felipe Apóstol stands proudly nearby. Conclude with free time at Umbrella Street before returning to the port.
