Become a connoisseur of Dominican flavours
Like many of the Caribbean islands, the landscape of the Dominican Republic’s gastronomy has influences from all over the world that blend into a cuisine uniquely packed with flavour. Get familiar with terms like sancocho (a seven meat stew), mangu (mashed plantain) and bandera, the island’s national dish which means ‘flag’ in English. It’s named as such because it consists of white rice, red beans and either stewed chicken or beef – delish. We can’t talk about Dominican flavours without mentioning two of its signature exports: rum and cigars! The countryside offers the perfect conditions for growing tobacco and sugarcane, which you can discover along with the island’s other typical exports with Dominican Republic excursions from Sunwing Experiences, powered by NexusTours.
Journey like the historians do
The Dominican Republic’s history can be read in the buildings and designs of its colonial cities, like Santo Domingo. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, do your best Indiana Jones while you stroll the city, the oldest in the Americas, dating back to the 15th century! Don’t miss out on the colonial-era architecture and historic sites in Puerto Plata, including the iconic Fort San Felipe, a Spanish fortress that has been transformed into a museum detailing the Dominican Republic’s past. After exploring the island’s thrilling bygone era, kick back and take everything in surrounded by all inclusive comfort at nearby resorts like VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort or Senator Puerto Plata Spa Resort, perfect for families. Either pick, you have chosen…wisely.
