Caribbean Tours

Santo Domingo, the inaugural European settlement in the Americas, offers an extensive array of historical sites and cultural attractions within its Zona Colonial district.



The location in question marks the birthplace of the inaugural cathedral, the inauguration of the initial bishop, the establishment of the first governor's residence, and the opening of the very first hospital. This urban center boasts an abundance of cultural attributes and architectural marvels, none comparable to any other place on the Hispaniola island.

The guided tour commences within the historic colonial district, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Designed meticulously for visitors seeking to delve into the historical roots of the New World, the journey seamlessly incorporates visits to the first cathedral, the first university, the fortress, and the Palace of Justice. As one wanders along Calle Las Damas, the city's original cobblestone thoroughfare, they encounter the city's first hospital, its first shipyard, and its first viceregal palace. Throughout their exploration, travelers have ample opportunities to engage with significant museums, squares, and landmarks, thereby acquiring an unparalleled perspective on the region's rich heritage. Additionally, taking advantage of these experiences, tourists can capture memorable photographs.
