Dominican Republic
Puerto Plata
Cable car to the clouds, 27 waterfalls, and amber.
A Victorian old town between a waterfall canyon and the Caribbean's only cable car.
Puerto Plata gets more into a port day than most. The 27 Charcos de Damajagua is a morning of jumping and sliding through 27 connected canyon pools; the Caribbean's only aerial cable car climbs 800 metres to Pico Isabel de Torres and a vast Atlantic view. Between them sits a restored Victorian old town and the amber the coast is named for.
