Dominican Republic: Cultural Pearl of the Caribbean

The Dominican Republic is located in the eastern part of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea, bordered by Haiti to the west and Puerto Rico to the east, and is the second largest country in the Caribbean. The capital, Santo Domingo, is the first city in the Americas with historical buildings from the colonial period, and the Old Town is listed as a World Heritage Site.
