The Dominican Republic really does offer something for everyone. For those who dream of a one-on-one with Mother Nature, a visit to the Samana peninsula on the Northeast Coast is like pulling up a chair on her front porch.
Samana's beauty lies in her simplicity. Here, unspoiled beaches serve as a threshold to vibrant coral reefs while mountain waterfalls intersect lush rain forests. But while Samana is a top destination for eco-tourists and naturalists, some come to this off the beaten path peninsula to interact with humpback whales. After all, Samana is home to one of the largest and best breeding grounds in the world for this elusive mammal.
But while Samana's beauty is the stuff of legends, its history is fodder fit for a fairytale. Columbus stopped here on his discovery of the New World but the area didn't become populated until late in 1756 when people began migrating from the Canary Islands. Soon Samana became a lair for pirates who pillaged passing ships. What followed was a short ownership by Napolean Bonaparte and later, settlement by freed American slaves.
All this history and meshing of cultures has left Samana as one of the most impressive melting pots in the Dominican Republic. Americanos, descendents of the African-American inhabitants, mix with Europeans from France, Spain and Italy. Not only do people here look different from their Dominican brethren, but the food and even the language has a twist all its own.

Costa Noreste
La República Dominicana realmente ofrece algo para cada quien. Para aquellos que sueñan con estar de tú a tú con la madre naturaleza, una visita a la península de la Samaná en la costa noreste es como colocar una silla en su propio porche.
La belleza de Samaná reside en su simplicidad. Aquí, playas inmaculadas sirven como el umbral de arrecifes de coral de vibrantes colores mientras caídas de agua de las montañas atraviesan exuberantes bosques. Pero mientras Samaná es un destino de primera para eco turistas y naturalista, algunos vienen a esta inigualable península para interactuar con las ballenas jorobazas. Después de todo, Samaná es el hogar de uno de los más grandes lugares de cría de este elusivo animal.
Pero mientras la belleza de Samaná es motivo de leyenda, su historia es capaz de servir para un cuento de hadas. Cristóbal Colón paró aquí en su Descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo pero el área no fue poblada hasta 1756 cuando la gente comenzó a emigrar de las Islas Canarias. Samaná pronto se convirtió en una guarida para los piratas. Luego Napoleón Bonaparte fue su dueño durante un corto período y después fue habitada por esclavos americanos liberados.
Toda esta historia y mezcla de culturas ha convertido a Samaná en una de los más impresionantes mezclas de razas en la República Dominicana. Americanos descendientes de habitantes afroamericanos, mezclados con europeos de Francia, España e Italia. No sólo hace que la gente aquí luzca diferente de sus hermanos dominicanos, sino que la comida e incluso el idioma tienen un giro propio.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP
""
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.
