The Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic covers 2/3 of the caribbean island "Hispanola" and borders on Haiti. From northwest to southeast 4 mountain ranges run through the island, the highest one is the "Cordillera Oriental" with over 3.000 metres. Along the east coast of Hispanola streches a beautiful beach of 26 kilometres with white sand as far as you can see and innumerable coconut trees. The lagoon, protected by a coral reef, is the perfect place for many kinds of watersports. The numerous divespots along this coral reef together with the 29 year old shipwreck "Astron" are curiosities for the dive-beginners as well as for the advanced divers. To ensure a very comfortable and easy arrival to the holiday makers, a typical airport was built in Punta Cana. The comfort and service in the luxurious all-inclusive hotels along the coast of Punta Cana is a cut above the standard in the other parts of the Dominican Republic.
