The Dominican Republic has a rich and storied history that traces back over 8,000 years to the arrival of the Taino Indians. Following the island's discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the Republic had epic interaction with the Spanish, French, Haitians and Africans. It's no wonder, then, how the Dominican Republic came to boast such an impressive collection of personal and cultural relics from centuries past.
The country has done a magnificent job of maintaining and preserving these artifacts as well as the historical structures in which they're housed. Visiting the Dominican Republic's major cities, especially Santo Domingo, tourists can easily become engrossed in the historical legends that accompany some of the oldest museums and archeological sites in the New World.
The Dominican Republic also has a unique collection of natural rocks and gems that can only be found on the island. Near Barahona, a turquoise-blue pectolite stone known as larimar has been cultivated from the volcanic rock that once formed the island. The country's most popular gem, amber, is the result of tree sap that hardened millions of years ago, sometimes capturing small plants, animals and insects inside. These two geological imprints are used in jewelry, sometimes together and other times in single pieces.
The country's museums and archeological sites intrigue adults and provide a historical lesson for children. From jewelry to religious artifacts, castles to caves, each venue showcases a vastly different aspect of the island's colorful heritage.
Museos Y Arqueologia
La República Dominicana tiene una rica historia que se remonta hasta 8.000 años atrás con la llegada de los indios Taínos. Luego del descubrimiento de la isla por Cristóbal Colón en 1492, la República tuvo una épica interacción con España, Francia, Haití y África. No es de extrañar, entonces, que la República Dominicana posea una impresionante colección de reliquias personales y culturales de siglos pasados.
El país ha hecho un magnifico trabajo de conservación y preservación de estos objetos así como de la estructura histórica en la cual son alojados. Visitando las más importantes ciudades de la República Dominicana, especialmente Santo Domingo, los turistas pueden fácilmente quedar sumergidos en las leyendas históricas que acompañan algunos de los más viejos museos y sitios arqueológicos del Nuevo Mundo.
La República Dominicana tiene también una deslumbrante colección de piedras naturales y gemas que sólo pueden ser encontradas en la isla. Cerca de Barahona, una turquesa azul (piedra pectosita) conocida como Larimar, ha sido cultivada de las rocas volcánicas que conformaron la isla en sus comienzos. La gema más popular del país, el ámbar, es el resultado del endurecimiento de la savia de un árbol, capturando a veces a pequeñas plantas, animales e insectos dentro de sí, hace millones de años. Estas dos huellas geológicas son utilizadas en joyería, a veces juntas y a veces como piezas individuales.
Los museos del país y los lugares arqueológicos sorprenden a los adultos y les proporcionan lecciones históricas a los niños. Desde joyería hasta objetos religiosos, de castillos a cuevas, cada lugar muestra una gran variedad de aspectos únicos de la colorida herencia de la isla.

With so many options to choose from, the hardest part of planning a trip to the Dominican Republic is planning your departure for home. Seven major airlines serve the Dominican Republic, so you'll always have a good choice of flights. Many tour operators offer daytrips with a wide appeal, but specialty travel is also a popular option.
Ecotourism and adventure tours that involve helicopter rides, kayaking, four-wheeling, caving, and other thrilling escapades are available to the intrepid traveler. If family oriented itineraries are more your speed, consider tours that include horseback riding, water parks, and whale watching. The Dominican Republic is also becoming a popular destination for weddings, honeymoons, meetings, and conventions.
BEFORE YOU GO
The Dominican Republic enjoys warm tropical weather year round, so pack for paradise. Don't forget sunglasses, sunblock, and your bathing suit.
With seven international airports and a streamlined immigration process, visiting paradise has never been easier. Even communication is trouble-free because although Spanish is the official language, most employees in hotels and tourist spots speak English.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The Tourist Card is a required document for residents of authorized countries to enter the Dominican Republic exclusively for touristic purposes without a visa. It can be obtained at the Dominican Consulates or directly upon arrival at the airports in the Dominican Republic. The cost is US $10 and is valid for 30 days. (Please note that some of the tour operators include the Tourist Card in their packages.)
Year-round sports, effervescent nightlife, distinctive souvenir shopping, magnificent national parks, and world class gambling make for a jam-packed vacation to do list. But when you see the spectacular beaches, you might just want to pull up a chair and relax.
Outdoor activities like golf, snorkeling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and boating are a thrilling way to experience the natural beauty of land and sea. With over two-dozen national parks, other quieter options for communion with nature like hiking and bird watching are also available. Indoor activities offer you the chance to strike it rich, dance the night away, or shop for curious mementos like carnival masks, amber, and a strange, liquid cure-all called Mamajuana.
