Essence of our land...
Puerto Plata
Seductive with many charms Art crafts at the San Felipe Fortress.
Puerto Plata still holds that indiscrete and
inseparable romance with the Atlantic
Ocean in the north coast and sole owner of
impressive richness inherited from Mother
Nature as well as many attractions created
by mankind making her a very seductive
destination. Because of its charms, the beauty of the
landscapes, a cultural heritage, ecotourism
and wonders of nature Puerto Plata was
named the first tourist development, in
1974, and it became Dominican Republic’s
first sun and beach destination. Many of the country’s most beautiful
beaches are in Puerto Plata and next to them
several hotels, like the ones in Playa Dorada
that also include a professional golf course
and a shopping center. Also known as “the amber coast”, due
to its many amber mines in the area, one
of the outstanding features is the cable
car that takes you to the summit of Isabel
de Torres from where you will capture a
beautiful panoramic view of the city and its
surroundings.

the Ocean World Adventure Park. Luperón, located in the stunning bay
of the same name has turned into an
important yacht destination hosting over
500 embarkations every year. The bay was
originally name by Christopher Columbus as
“Bahía de Gracias” (Bay of Grace) because
it served as a haven that protected the
galleons from the tropical storms.

queen Isabel are just a few of the sites worth
visiting in Puerto Plata. Also, Ocean World Adventure Park, Marina &
Casino is a must-visit attraction that includes
a restaurant, a casino, a discotheque and
beautiful marina; and the 27 “Charcos de
Damajagua”, a canyon with 27 ponds and
waterfalls, many of them with slides. “Punta Rucia” and “La Ensenada” are two
spectacular beaches on the region and
very popular for the beauty and the locals
that make their living from the fishing. The
shores of Punta Rucia are ideal for diving
and boat tours can be arranged to enjoy the
manatees.

Amber museum
Millions of years of history confined in a stone
Just in case you never knew the province
of Puerto Plata lies on very important and
valuable amber reservoir dated from millions
of year.
The country’s most famous amber museum
is the one located in the city of Puerto Plata,
in an old-Victorian-style house very wellknow as Villa Bentz.
Due to the high content in vegetal resin
containing prehistoric fossil, the Dominican
amber is highly appreciated by world’s
famous jewelers. This amber is 90% clearer
than most of other ambers from other places
and it contains 10 times more insects than
14
the one found in the Baltic Sea, thus making
the Dominican amber a most-wanted item
for tourists visiting our country.
The museum is open to the
public Monday thru Saturday,
from 9:00AM to 6:00 PM, and
a variety of honey-yellow-tone
ambers are available as well as
others in green, brown and dark
blue colors.

Art and culture in Puerto Plata
For those seeking in Puerto Plata more than
just the sun, the beach and the hotels, they
will certainly find their way out with the art
and culture life.
The city has witnessed the birth of
distinguished writers, singers, musicians and
artists that have left a legacy for the posterity.
These lands also were the birthplace of
Emilio Prud’homme, author of our national

visitors may have a glimpse of our way of life
through folk, jazz and merengue concerts,
exhibitions and sales of local crafts. And,
in October, the “malecón” is the venue for
the annual Merengue Festival where the
country’s most popular bands and singers
put up a great show.
Many of the monuments are standing like
mute witnesses of events in Dominican
history, like the Fortress of San Felipe,
from early 1500’s, the convent of San
Pedro Mártir and the church of San Felipe
Apóstol. The Victorian-style architecture
in many houses and buildings is another
feature of the city to be admired.
In addition, the amber stone of Puerto Plata
is considered one of the world’s best and you

the work in many exquisite pieces of art.

Sosúa: always historical and exuberant
The origins of Sosúa, a small village in the province of Puerto Plata, date way back to the
decade of 1930’s when the Dominican government, ruled by the dictator Rafael Leonidas
Trujillo, allowed the settlement of 100,000 Jews. In the month of May of 1940 the first group
of Jewish refugees arrived with 26 men, 10 women and 1 child.
Dominican Republic gave the Jews a chance to start a new life, free of hostilities, mistreatment,
discrimination and persecution. They were even received by Trujillo with 70 head of cattle,
which in the end was the kick-off to develop the dairy industry.
The community of Sosúa, which by the time was merely an abandoned plantation of bananas
in the north coast, would become the haven for thousands of Jews who worked very hard and
built the foundations for a prosperous town and today is a very dynamic tourist destination in
Dominican Republic.
The name “Sosúa” comes from the Chibcha language, meaning “worm”. During the times of
the aborigines the name “Sosúa” first was referred to the zigzag shape of the river; but, and
just like other villages, once the first settlers came along, the community adapted the name
of the river: Sosúa.

the country. The beaches are ranked among
the best in the region and in the world,
especially for its conditions for water sports.
Cabarete: it’s paradise for water
sports!
Cabarete, also part of the province of Puerto
Plata, settles between a bay and a lagoon, a
great feature that young people and adults
appreciate very much, especially those who
crave for adventure sports.
In Cabarete, it’s not “3-in-1”; it’s all in one:
natural beauty, tourism, Sports, adventure,
folklore, a rich gastronomy and endless fun.
The weather is predominantly tropical humid with the dominion of trade winds and low

Brugal
The symbol of the best Dominican rum
Photos: Courtesy of Brugal & Co.
Brugal is one of the most prestigious brand
names in Dominican rum making and where
tradition is one valued ingredient. Over one
hundred years back up the history and it is
one of the most wanted local items.
The production of rum Brugal starts on the
juice extracted from the sugar cane juice,
better known as “guarapo”, which in fact
undergoes a process to obtain the molasses;
then, next step is to ferment with yeast
for a sort of wine mix that finally makes
the alcohol when completing the cycle of
distillation.
The alcohol distilling grade is one important
issue when making the rum Brugal and one
distinguishing feature to other similar drinks
produced in the country. Whilst other rum
makers distill the alcohol between 90 and
92 degrees, Brugal is distilled at 95 degrees,
meaning a cleaner and less contaminant
product. Later is diluted with purified and
filtered water at 65 degrees.
The aging process takes place in American
white oak barrels imported directly from
Kentucky, USA. The time of aging differs
according the type of rum: “Extra Viejo”
(extra old), “Añejo” (aged), “Blanco” (white),
“Carta Blanca” (also white), “Carta Dorada”
(golden), “Siglo de Oro” (golden century)
and “Licor Único” (unique liquor). Once
the time is set for each type, which varies
from one to six years, the alcohol is taken
from the barrels thru underground pipes
directly to a chamber to start the process
of filtering, formulation and settling. Finally,
the alcohol is degraded from 65 degrees
to 37-40 degrees, depending if the final
product is for exportation or for local
consumption.
A unique flavor
The rum’s unique flavor comes from the
caramel and fruit extract for coloring and a
family’s secret formula for each variety of
the product.
Once the combination is performed, the rum
rests from 7 to 25 days, always depending on
the type of rum, in a stainless steel deposit
to eliminate all chemical components and
to soften it. After concluding this phase,
the rum is ready to bottle and ready for
distribution, for all to enjoy.
Part of the rum production process.

If you wish learn more about the rum
production, you may visit Brugal & Company
and take one of the daily guided tour of the
plant. Please inquire your tour representative
at the hoPhone.

For shoppers, Ocean World has a gift
shop offering a wide variety of items and
gifts related to those animals living in
the park.
Ocean World Adventure Park
Fun and entertainment all day long
A beautiful marina, a casino with live
shows, and a restaurant with a broad
gastronomy rounds up all the attractions
in the park.
Because of its nature and the park’s philosophy to teach visitors how to love and
respect the animals, Ocean World is your
best choice when seeking fun for the family.
The facilities: Ocean World
counts with a Beach, a Dolphin
observation area, a forest, a
cascade, the tiger’s grotto, the
site of tropical birds, Bella Vista
Café, the sting rays, the sharks, a
small pond, an scuba diving, an

more.
It is the most complete and modern water

coast.
Ocean World is the first marine zoo in the
country and its diversity of species living

in their natural habitat allows the visitors
to observe and learn more interesting facts
about their lifestyles.
The park’s best innovation is the opportunity it brings to interact directly with the
animals: swimming with dolphins, full
around with sea lions, taking you picture
with a tiger (of course, separated by a resistant glass, touching the sharks or diving
into a giant pond with many exotic marine
species are just a few of the experiences
you can live.

Night life in Puerto Plata
it’s way beyond the hotels
The cable car
The best view in a natural environment
Coming to Puerto Plata and
not taking a ride in one of
the greatest attractions,
the cable car, would be
inexcusable; no matter if
you’re a visitor from abroad
or a local, it is, certainly, a
once in a lifetime opportunity
for a charming adventure.
The cable car takes you all
the way to the top of Isabel
26
de Torres, the hill covered
with
lush
vegetation
and exotic flowers and a
great view. The average
temperature is about 17
degrees Celsius which turns
out to be very nice for most
of our people accustomed to
a tropical heat between 25
and 30 degrees. A statue
to the Christ of Redemption
lies on the summit; also a
cafeteria and those looking
for some souvenirs will find
the option in a gift shop.
The cable car of Puerto Plata,
the only one in the country,
was built in 1974. It climbs
up to 1,000 feet above sea
level from which you can
glimpse the spectacular
view of the Atlantic coastline
and the city of Puerto Plata.
If you’re staying in of the nearby hotels and
you wish to put some spice at night, then you
come to town where you’ll find many options
for it. Discotheques, casinos, restaurants,
bars and cafes are just few on the list of
choices for your amusement and night fun.
Nights in Puerto Plata are intense and offer
a good opportunity to get acquainted with
our culture, our music and dances, our
gastronomy and, of course, our best asset,
our people.
Don’t miss going out to

or climb in different pools and waterfalls up
to 13 meters, not mentioning a long walk
through wooded trails. But, not to worry,
you don’t have to be in shape to make the
tour; it could help you, but the important
issue is to be enthusiast and have the firm
conviction to experience this nature’s work
of art.
Charcos de Damajagua
A gift from nature
There are several tourist companies providing guided tours with attractive prices,
safety and first aid equipments and the
reliability of people well-trained and with
knowledge of the Charcos de Damajagua.
From Puerto Plata, it will take you about 30
minutes to reach Damajagua; and some 45
minutes from the city of Santiago.
Amidst exotic and unrepeatable landscapes
of many Dominican treasures there is one
that outstands for the spectacular and singular beauty: the 27 charcos (“natural pools”)
of Damajagua.
The puddles are located in the municipality
of Imbert, province of Puerto Plata,
offering adventure, beauty and diversity,
three features that combine to leave great

would be unforgivable not coming to Damajagua, one of the most visited destinations
by locals and foreigners.

Baseball
Cabarete
It’s in the heartbeat of every Dominican
The capital of windsurf and kiteboarding
Those young people, windsurf and kiteboarding lovers, always on the quest of
“the perfect wave” come to Dominican
Republic, to the only beach where to look for
it: Cabarete, a beach with special features
and ranked by the experts as one of the best
in the world for such adventures and other
water sports.
Year after year Cabarete dyes itself with the
multicolored boards and canvas of thousands of youngsters coming from all over
the world to compete in international tournaments.
The winds of the Atlantic and the natural
layout of the beach have made of Cabarete
the top-preferred destination for those water
sports cravers who live out in passion with
the ocean and thousands of sensations with
the nightlife, wonderful gastronomy and a
multicolored culture.
Visiting a local baseball game is an unforgettable experience.
If there’s one thing that truly portraits our
people, that is baseball. No matter gender,
age or social class, “la pelota”, as we call
it, is followed by everyone; it has been the
source from which many of our daily words
and expressions come from.
There is no other game or sport more
popular than baseball; it is in our culture, in our skin: it is our national pastime. Ever since we are born, Dominicans get into it and live the experience,
playing the game even in the most oldfashioned way, and even on improvised
field (or “play”, as we commonly call a
baseball park), like any street on any
neighborhood, or a park, or even in an
abandoned real estate lot.
30
It is no coincidence that many great players
in the professional baseball leagues come
from Dominican Republic: the only player
with 5 gold glove awards in a row, a pitcher
with over 1,000 appearance, a player with
more than 600 homeruns and 5th on the list
of all times, the only pitcher with 3 Cy Young
awards and more than 3,000 strikeouts and
a player with 10 consecutive seasons hitting
35 homeruns or more.
In the past 50 years Dominican Republic
has registered 466 players in the Major
Leagues, thus making it the country, other than the United States, with more players in “the big league”. A fact: only seven
American states have sent more players
to the majors than Dominican Republic,
31
The way we are...
Some interesting facts
about Dominican baseball:
• The team “Licey” was founded in
1907; teams “Estrellas Orientales”
came second, in 1910; then
“Escogido” in 1921; “Aguilas”,
which was born under the name of
Santiago BBC, was created in 1936;
team “Toros del Este” in 1983 and
the youngest team is “Gigantes del
Nordeste” in 1996.
Manny Ramírez, Pedro Martínez and Samy Sosa, three of the most valuable Dominican players in the Major Leagues.
but it took them a little over 100 years
to do so.
Names such as Juan Marichal, Felipe Alou,
Sammy Sosa, Pedro Martínez, Albert Pujols,
David Ortiz, Manny Ramírez, Vladimir
Guerrero and Aramis Ramírez have brought
prestige to the game. Marichal is the only
Dominican, at the moment, inducted to
the Baseball Hall of Fame; Sosa is the only
player in the history of baseball to compile
three seasons with 60 homeruns or more,
and fifth in the list of all times, while
Martínez has the merit to register a 2.80
ERA (earned run average) in his career.
Dominican Republic has won the Caribbean
World Series of Baseball in 18 occasions,
being the first in 1971 and team Licey has
done it 10 times; the, team Aguilas won it in
1997 and it has done it 5 times, whilst team
Escogido has done it 3 times, in 1988, 1990
and 2010.
The “Águilas Cibaeñas”, one of the teams of great tradition.
Rob Ruck, in his book “The tropic of
baseball”, states that San Pedro de Macorís
is the town in Dominican Republic that
produces, per capita, more baseball players
than any other country in the world.
Some history
Baseball was first introduced in the country
in September of 1886; it came to San Pedro
de Macorís. The facts are still not clear
enough. Some historian point out the Cuban
brothers Ignacio and Ubaldo Alomá, while
others mention José Aruza, Cuban too,
and José Méndez López, from Puerto Rico,
who organized some games for a team
called “Arioles” sponsored by Ingenio
Porvenir (the sugar mill company) who
donated the field to play the games, in
1899.
It was in 1916, during the United States
first invasion to Dominican Republic,
when baseball got popular and really
became a national pride. By the time,
games between Dominicans and
Americans meant a lot more than just
a simple sport.
Later, in the 1940’s amateur baseball
became popular with the games played
honoring the dictator Trujillo. These
years witnessed the first baseball
facilities in our nation’s capital and in
1946 were built the first real baseball
stadium, the one at the “Escuela
Normal” of Santo Domingo.
• The first broadcast of a baseball game
was on 21st of October of 1917, and
it was done by telephone. The second
broadcast was in Santo Domingo, 12
years later, in 1929.
• In 1928 was broadcasted the first
game between archrivals Licey and
Escogido, by HIJK radio station.
• In 1936, the Cincinatti Reds was
the first major league team to visit
Dominican Republic.
•Also in 1936, the first national
tournament was played with
four teams: Licey, Escogido,
Estrellas Orientales and Sandino,
which later was renamed Águilas
Cibaeñas.
• The Dominican Republic’s debut in
amateur World Series was in 1941.
• The country’s big leap to professional
tournaments occurred between 1951
and 1954, and in 1955 started the
real “baseball fever” with different
games played day and night,
everywhere.

Photos: Courtesy of PROCIGAR
It is told that Dominican history was written
with the smell and the flavor of tobacco.
When Christopher Columbus came to La
Hispaniola, tobacco had already been
part of the Taino culture, the island’s first
inhabitants, for their social and religious
rites. These native Indians celebrated the rite
of “cohoba” to “communicate themselves
with their deities” and they used a cylindershaped instrument called “tabaca”, which
Today, Santiago shelters the most important tobacco industries from which
the finest and most exquisite cigars are
exported. Just Davidoff, a world famous
brand made locally, is exported to 160
countries.
With over 200 million cigars for exportation
every year Dominican Republic is the world’s
leading tobacco exporter, way beyond Cuba.
About 85% of our cigars are exported to the
United States.
A tobacco field in Villa González.
Santiago is also known for its “Monument to the heroes of
the Restoration War”.

The way we are...
Added value
The high quality and the
consistency of the mixture are
the two features that make a
difference in the Dominican
tobacco when compared to those
of other producing countries.
“In a World where nothing is safe
and anything goes, the cigar
smoker, at least, is reflexive and
mature, he wishes to have a
non-surprising product, a product
loyal to his taste and his pleasure,
and that is what a Dominican
tobacco offers”, proudly stated
Mr. Hendrick Kellner, president of
ProCigar, organization housing the
country’s cigar producers.
The elaboration process is handmade.
Dominican Republic, and especially the region of Santiago, produces cigars rich in
flavors with the blend of different tobaccos
from all over the world, like Ecuador, Brazil,
Nicaragua, Honduras, United States, Mexico,
Cameroon and Indonesia.
The tobacco’s contribution to the economy of
Santiago and our country is very significant.
Over 15,000 direct jobs in the factories
and more than 5,000 in the independent
packing process. On the field, it is estimated
approximately 60,000 workers.
Part of the options in Dominican Republic.
General Cigar, Tabacalera García, Aurora,
Tabadom Holding, Matasa and Tabacos
Quisqueyanos, the country’s six leading cigar producers, are settled in Santiago and
they are responsible for the “Cigar Festival”
which takes place every year and consumers and retailers meet. The purpose of the
festival is to encourage people to learn more
about the Dominican tobacco, the way they
are produced and to interact with our culture.
36
The final product: a cigar of wide range of flavors for customer satisfaction.

The way we are...
The rivers of Jimenoa and Baiguate
count with two impressive waterfalls
formed by the slopes of the mountains
into the valley. Nearby, and at 3,087
meters above sea level, stands Pico
Duarte, the highest elevation in all of the
Caribbean. Jarabacoa’s rich biodiversity
with lush forests of pine trees and
exotic flowers has made possible the
slogan “Jarabacoa, where it is always
springtime”.
The way we are...
Jarabacoa
Full of adventure in exuberant nature
The everlasting mountain and spring-like
climate along with an annual average
temperature of 20-22 degrees Celsius
guarantee the perfect combination for
an unforgettable vacation.
From Puerto Plata to
Jarabacoa you must pass
by Santiago and make a
right turn at the Entrance
near the city of La Vega.
Once in town you will
find several options for
accommodation, like small
hotels, villas and cabanas.
The important issue is not
to let by a pleasant visit to
Jarabacoa.
Rappel and rafting are some of the extreme sports in Jarabacoa.
Settled at 650 feet above sea level and 35 km from La Vega, the town of Jarabacoa is ready
to offer you all the possibilities to experience great adventures in a paradise of pine trees and
flowers with the pleasant freshness of the climate, the greenery of its mountains and stunning
waterfalls.
From the taino language the name "Jarabacoa" means “place of many waters” which,
indeed, justifies the name because it is surrounded by rivers Yaque Del Norte, Baiguate,
Jimenoa and Guanajuma, as well as by hundreds of streams.
Jarabacoa is home for the country’s main mountain range making it the best destination for
adventures and ecotourism in Dominican Republic. Nowadays the region is center for rafting,
horseback riding, trekking, cascading, paragliding, tubing, four wheels, rappel, rock climbing,
mountain bikes and tours on 4x4 vehicles.
