Do you depend on your children’s school holidays? Do you have professional constraints that require you to have a tight schedule and holidays to plan well in advance? You are therefore wondering when is the best time to spend a stay in Dominican Republic. Travel Organized or not, you need to get organized!
So let’s be frank: the Caribbean, this archipelago dotted with paradisiacal islands, is an easily accessible destination since, to put it in “rough” terms, the weather is nice there all the time! We will therefore not put a damper on any period of the year. Nevertheless, it should be noted that December and April are the mildest months to live on site: the heat is there, and trade winds cool the air. Thus, you benefit from temperatures of at least 25 degrees during the day and 20 degrees at night. The tropical climate of the island therefore offers you the luxury of spending both pleasant nights and days.
The helping climate, the Dominican Republic can boast of an exceptional luxuriant nature. Tropical forests, heavenly beaches, natural parks teeming with rare flora and fauna: these are the elements that make this destination one of the most popular with tourists from all over the world.
Because on just over 48,000 square meters, the country offers a unique diversity of landscapes. You pass in a few kilometers from tropical jungles to quasi-desert spaces; on the coasts, you alternate between steep coastlines and typical Caribbean bays.
Among the nature reserves to discover, it is impossible to miss the Cotubanamá National Park. Located in the southeast of the island, it is the nest of more than 300 species of birds and the residence of more than 500 species of flowers. It offers its visitors unsuspected treasures in its many cavities and caves. Finally, with its beaches among the most beautiful in the Caribbean, the park offers unforgettable snorkeling and diving sessions, as well as exceptional hiking.
Inland, discover one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the tropics: Cascada Limón. To the northeast, 155 kilometers from Santo Domingo, the village of Sabana De La Mar is a typical fishing village nestled in a corner of paradise. You will enjoy both a warm atmosphere and culinary delights from the sea.
At the mention of the Dominican Republic, we quickly imagine ourselves suspended between two palm trees, in a hammock, or on the warm sand, lying on our towel or our beach towel. However, as you will have understood, this country has many other things to offer than tanning and relaxation sessions.
Let’s start with the capital: Santo Domingo is one of the oldest cities in the Caribbean. In addition to a unique atmosphere, bathed in the warmth of movement and smells, you can appreciate buildings from the 16th century, in the heart of the colonial zone, in particular the Notre-Dame de l’Incarnation cathedral. On the Spanish Steps, the Alcázar de Colón Palace offers you a soothing visit made up of architectural and historical secrets. Turned into museums, it displays notable works of art from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Let’s ask ourselves two last (rhetorical) questions. What would culture be without an assertive gastronomy? What would a trip be without the culinary delights of the country visited? Very few things. Get ready to enjoy a tasty culinary change of scenery. After an excursion, a visit, a swim or a cocktail, you can enjoy delicious soups made from plantains. For a moment of relaxation and delight, opt for another of the island’s specialities: marinated lobster, served with different sauces (Caribbean, dog, and many more…).
Make an appointment with the Dominican Republic, treat yourself to memories and a spicy, colorful, tasty stay.
