This port city on the south Dominican coast is close to some of the country’s best wilderness and is a great base for daytrips to lakes and national parks.Â
A site where it’s said people have been miraculously healed and a destination for thousands of pilgrims, this striking basilica is one of the Dominican Republic\'s most sacred religious buildings.
Like many of its Caribbean counterparts, this 32-island chain features secluded beaches, tiny cays and colorful coral reefs. Unlike other areas, it has few tourists.
