3. Outdoor adventures / watersports Swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, climbing, hiking, mountain biking, game fishing and horse riding are all available. Surf the amber coast.

Hike challenging Pico Duarte with a guide, usually takes 2-3 days, or hike Mount Isabela de Torres in a few hours. Raft the Rio Grande de Ancisio from September to December. There are also superb golf courses, such as The Teeth of The Dog. Or, for something different, catch a Pelota (baseball match) or how about zip lining?

4. Rich heritage / vibrant culture.
The island was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and this heritage is reflected in the historic Colonial Zone of the capital, Santo Domingo, a world heritage site. With cobbled streets, colonial buildings, the oldest cathedral in the Americas, fortress, cafes, restaurants and a buzzing art scene, it's the perfect place to go. Santo Domingo has a buzzing night-life…fancy dancing the merengue in a jazz club? The Dominican Republic has a colourful and vibrant culture, with a mix of European colonists, African and native Taino, as shown by the many carnivals on the island…visit Carnaval de la Viga before Lent with its elaborate costumes.
5. Food and drink
Fresh fish, seafood, locally reared meats, local fruits and vegetables feature on the menus. Try La Bandera, (white rice, red beans, meat, salad and fried plantain). Taste delicious rum, cocktails, fruit shakes and strong coffee.
