Exploring Downtown Puerto Plata - We Weren't Expecting These Dominican Delights
If you're sailing to Puerto Plata but don't know what to do, then this is the video for you. We experience an incredible walking tour in one of the Dominican Republic's most vibrant cities, and we do it on a very tight budget. We walk you through the shipside shopping village with its pools and lazy river to many scenic and historic locations. You will see that you don't need to spend a fortune to have an awesome Puerto Plata experience. We travel into the Caribbean aboard the MSC World America and find ourselves in port with no excursions or other plans. We leave the ship with a very specific goal in mind: To explore the city of Puerto Plata for the least amount of money. From iconic locations like Umbrella Sreet and Pink Street to the historic cathedral and Independence Square, this video is all about exploring one of the most eclectic cities in the Dominican Republic without breaking the bank. At the end of the day we have great memories and find plenty of money left in our wallets. If you would like to see our other cruise videos, please visit our website halffasttravelers.com.
