Full-Day Shared Cultural Excursion: Punta Cana to Santo Domingo
We begin our journey with a meeting in the lobby of your hotel or at a designated starting point agreed upon with our operator. We'll head towards the stunning Cuevas de los Tres Ojos, where, accompanied by our guide, we'll explore its fascinating underground caves. We'll make a stop at the Faro a Colón to capture photos of this attraction inaugurated by Pope John Paul II, as well as the National Palace.
Afterwards, we'll enjoy a typical Dominican lunch in a place full of history and local authenticity.
We'll then continue to the colonial zone, exploring historical gems such as the Alcázar de Colón, the National Pantheon, the First Cathedral of America, the Convent of the Dominicans, Calle Las Damas, and the Amber Museum, with a duration of 45 minutes.
We conclude our day by exploring local shops with typical products before comfortably returning to your hotel. Discover the historical and culinary richness of Santo Domingo with us.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The 3 Eyes National Park
The Los Tres Ojos Park features caves composed of limestone rocks, divided by three underground lakes, which is the main reason it is named 'The Three Eyes Park.' In addition to these lakes, it also has an exterior freshwater lake. This natural reserve allows us to preserve millennia-old geological formations, creating breathtaking landscapes both underwater and on land. It is a walking tour where, to explore the entire underground area, it is necessary to climb the 346 steps that connect the entire area.
Columbus Lighthouse (Faro A Colon)
Situated in the eastern part of Santo Domingo, near the East National Park, the Columbus Lighthouse stands as a monumental mausoleum. Stretching over 700 meters and reaching a height of 24 meters at its peak, this structure is a testament to both history and architectural grandeur.
Palacio NationalPass-by Only
Since its inauguration on August 16, 1947, the National Palace has proudly served as the seat of the Dominican Government. Steeped in history, it stands as an enduring symbol of governance and national heritage.
