Home to the impressive Los Tres Ojos Park, the Columbus Lighthouse, and major industrial growth.
Created in 2001, the Province of Santo Domingo is the industrial and logistical engine of the nation. Although it surrounds the capital, it has its own identity and a "vigor" that is felt in its seven municipalities, from the beaches of Boca Chica to the mystical caves of Santo Domingo Este.
🌟 Adventures Between Caves and Monuments
If you are looking for nature without leaving the city, the Los Tres Ojos National Park is a mandatory stop; its underground lakes of crystal clear water inside limestone caverns are simply spectacular. Nearby you will find the imposing Columbus Lighthouse, a cross-shaped monument that holds treasures from 48 countries, and the National Aquarium, ideal for seeing Caribbean marine fauna up close. For those seeking popular culture, Villa Mella in the north is the home of the Holy Spirit and the best congo rhythms.
💡 The Go Visit Tip: If you go to Los Tres Ojos Park, bring an extra RD$200 for the boat crossing to the fourth lake (Los Zaramagullones); it is the most impressive part and the only open cenote in the complex.
