Puerto Plata, on the Dominican Republic's lush north coast, blends mountains, beaches, and Victorian-era charm. Most ships dock at the modern Amber Cove port, a resort-style complex of pools and zip-lines, with the historic town, a cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres, and powdery Playa Dorada all close by. Backed by green hills and famous for its amber and rum, it has more variety than its sleepy reputation suggests.
The 27 Waterfalls is the DR's signature adventure, but operators run different versions (7, 12, or all 27 falls) — confirm how many you'll climb when booking, and know it involves real jumping and swimming, so it's not for everyone.
