Dominican Republic Destination Information
Sharing the island of Hispaniola with neighboring Haiti, the Dominican Republic commands 19,000 square miles of mountainous rainforest and flawless silken beaches, populated by the descendants of Spanish conquistadors, of farmers and slaves who worked this lush land's earliest plantations. Today's Dominicans, however, cultivate more tourists than they do tobacco and sugar; with some 17,000 hotel rooms, this country beckons more leisure seekers than any other in the Caribbean - and does so with verve and variety. Though poverty is rampant (and not inconspicuous), the culture is warm, festive, and welcoming: Spanish is not just the language but the state of mind. Local customs not to be missed include meringue marathons, late-night dinners of fine local rum and spicy fish stew, and - a vacation must - languorous Latin siestas. more >>
