Dominican Republic Real Estate
 The
island of Hispanola is the second largest island in the Caribbean,
second only to Cuba. The Dominican Republic is the largest
part of it which it shares with Haiti.
It has a variety of terrain, mountains, beautiful beaches,
and clear turquoise waters.
Agriculture is a very large industry with a large variety
of fruits and vegetables being
grown. Coffee, sugar and rum are the major exports along with
a selection of tropical fruits.
The Dominican Republic boasts the highest mountain
in the Caribbean at over 10,000 ft. named Pico Duarte. Hiking
excursions are available for one day or multiple day trips
and all levels of expertise.
You can enjoy all kinds of water sports. The town of Cabarete,
where RE/MAX
Carabi is located is the windsurf capital of the world. World
championships are held there every year.
Beautiful beaches, wind and waves along with the quaint shops
make it a great place to be when you're not out on the boards.
There is also scuba diving, kite surfing, catamaran sailing,
fishing, deep sea fishing, and of course, swimming and sunbathing.
Name your pleasure, you will find it here.
Venture to the top of the mountain to have lunch at one of
the several restaurants. Soak in a spectacular view out to
the ocean or over the second largest city in the country Santiago.
If you choose to stay at the beach, one of the many bars or
restaurants is a good place to decide whether to join in a
volleyball game or the native pastime of dominoes.
Plan a trip to Samana from the end of December to March,
where you can partake in a whale watching tour. The
humpback whales come here every year to spawn. There are many guided day
trips available. Best to reserve to avoid disappointment. The
Amber Museum in Puerto Plata is an interesting and fascinating
look into the past.
There are guided tours of the exhibit History of Amber
and many specimens to view.
Its reputable gift shop with many unique designs of jewellery
is on-site and you can purchase Larimar, a semi-precious (turquoise
blue colour like the ocean) stone found only on this island
as well as the Amber for which it's renowned.
There is a Marineland type Dolphin Park, located near Cofresi,
which is just on the other side of Puerto Plata and
about 45 minutes from Sosua.
