Known for its sparkling beaches and rich history, Puerto Plata was discovered by Christopher Columbus in the 1490s. Columbus designed the town and established it as La Isabela, the first settlement in the Americas. Enjoy a panoramic view of Fuerte de San Felipe, built in 1540. It was the first fort in the New World, and today it anchors the city and stands as one of the oldest colonial period fortresses in the region. Puerto Plata's city center displays historic buildings, cultural museums, a seaside promenade, sparkling beaches, and plenty of restaurants and shopping.
