Those who plan travel also anticipate adventure and the opportunity to experience new things, regardless of the distance. Bodies of water intrigue locals and visitors for many different reasons, from ponds to the vast seas. Waterfalls draw the light of the sun and create remarkable rainbows while surface water gleams as it sparkles with each wave. One of the most popular vacation sites is the Dominican Republic, where that kind of mystical spell affects tourists and residents in much the same way.

Both the ocean and the sand shimmer with the rays of the sun while lagoons beckon those who want to swim without the effect of the tide and waves. Cabanas protect sunbathers from getting too much sun and the opportunity to bask in the warmth while stretched out on a cloth or towel is still appealing. Because the days are so beautiful, families often arrive at the beach to visit and have fun.

Tourists are pleased to return for another visit when they think back and recall the beauty and entertainment found in the different regions of the Dominican Republic. Those who heard stories from their friends and acquaintances about the grandeur of the country and the delicious fruits available each day are thrilled to finally arrive and experience it for themselves. It is important to plan a journey like this so that the places one absolutely wants to see appear on the agenda. And don't forget, you can also learn the Spanish language while you're here!

It has been several centuries since the ships led by Christopher Columbus arrived at the Dominican Republic. Not only were the beaches beautiful, the amount of food growing in the area amazed the visitors, as well. It is hard to imagine what the residents were thinking when the three ships arrived after such a long ocean voyage. Likely, they envisioned travel on a ship like that sometime in their future. Puerto Plata International Airport welcomes the planes that bring guests happy to travel so many miles to enjoy the beauty and excitement awaiting them.

The Atlantic Ocean shines in front of the lovely town of Cabarete, located less than half an hour from the airport, and beautiful hills rise behind it. Instead of rushing to the store to pick up fresh fruit for breakfast, area farmers take their cart down the streets selling their produce. Preparing for the day is easier with the fresh aroma and wonderful taste of coffee with the morning meal. And don't worry. Even though the native language is Spanish, everyone speaks English too.

Showing friends the travel albums of Cabarete Beach will result in surprise when they see the rainbow of colors that light up the beach. Travel is more amazing when it is presented in the bright colors of the flags, canopies and clothing that fill the beach. Parents wade along the edge of the shore with toddlers while others swim in the warm water. Tourists often feel part of their travel experience should be learning to windsurf or try kiteboarding, either of which is a very popular sport down at the beach. Those breezes pick up in the afternoon, so beginners and children usually schedule lessons for morning and the gentle breezes.

The unbelievable scenery is perfect for locals and tourists who want to hike or bike through the hills and build visual memories. Although travel in a car is faster and easier, hiking or riding a mountain bike allows tourists to see and explore the out of the way areas. It is extremely amazing to look down at the spectacular canyons and realize the raw beauty of creation.Remember to take the camera to Cabarete and an extra memory chip or two for the many pictures you will take.
