Let's start with the largest and most popular area of the Dominican Republic - Punta Cana. It is located in the eastern province of La Altagracia and is washed by the Atlantic Ocean.

The city itself bears the proud name "Bride of the Atlantic" - all this reminds of the ready-made era, and it reminds of a ready-made woman in a lace dress. This is an active recreation center, for tourists there is the possibility of surfing, diving, equestrian sports, rafting and jeep safari.
