Paseo Dona Blanca in Puerto Plata is a unique alleyway created to commemorate the arrival of Mrs. Bianca Franceschini, a pioneer in the development of the early tourism industry in Puerto Plata at the end of the 18th century. This Victorian-style alley is painted entirely in pink, including walls, flooring, decorative elements, benches, and flowers; a great backdrop for photography that now attracts weddings, birthdays, and other photo shoots.
The Dominican Amber Museum is located in the center of the city of Puerto Plata, in a Victorian-style house, where it has on display on several floors some of the most impressive stones of Dominican amber, including samples containing animal fossils.
In this beautiful place, you will find a total of 178 multi colored umbrellas, falling from a base that acts as the roof on the street, creating a cozy atmosphere where people will have the opportunity to capture beautiful photographs or interesting videos with their good times.
We added some boardwalk/beach time to this tour to give our guests a taste of one of our popular beaches in Puerto Plata. We end our tour in Puerto Plata by visiting the picturesque Playa Dorada, where you can relax after a day of sightseeing.
