Tour details
Tour itinerary
You start in the historic colonial city, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. During the walk you will visit the Palace of Diego Columbus, the historical museum “Casas Reales”, the Palace of the 1st Governor, the Cathedral (closed on Sundays) and the “Colon Park”. You will walk through the “Calle de las Damas” (the street of women) and the pedestrian zone “El Conde”, where you will see many stores, street vendors, bars and restaurants.
After lunch (included), you will visit the sights outside the colonial city. Within the lively city of Santo Domingo, not far from the colonial city, you will come across the national park and the cave system “Los Tres Ojos” (the three eyes) with underground rivers and stalactite caves. Descend into the caves and enjoy the view of the partially open stalactite caves and the overgrown corals. Walk through this unusually green environment and marvel at the three eyes. The fourth eye can only be reached by a small boat that takes you into the cenote via an underground river. Enjoy the beautiful view of a hidden lake with lush vegetation. This is the habitat for many freshwater fish and bird species. Before heading back to the colonial zone, make a photo stop at the controversial “Faro a Colón” lighthouse, a large mausoleum where the remains of Columbus are said to be buried.
