Punta Cana, the Dominican delight, the point where the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea meet. Where the beaches are golden, and the coconut palms sway in the gentle breeze. Welcome to a place of rest and relaxation. You\u2019re in paradise!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to Punta Cana is a blessing. For one, it has a coastline that boasts some 40km of golden beaches. All-inclusive resorts and hideaways offer comfort and luxurious delights. There is more to this region that just the beaches. Love your golf, then you\u2019ll find top courses, and the watersports are second to none. There’s even top shopping <\/a>too. So, let\u2019s delve a little deeper into this stunning place. Forget about the cold winter days. You\u2019re heading for the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you have had enough of lying on the beaches, then Punta Cana has plenty of choices for exercise. Of course, there are scuba diving and other water sport options. Plenty of wondrous places to explore in the turquiose depths. We\u2019ve already mentioned the golf and there are opportunities for hiking, inland safaris, adventure parks (Bavaro Adventure Park<\/em>) and even ziplines (Anamuya Ziplines<\/em>). Whizz down and scream for me, Punta Cana!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Culture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fancy a cigar or a visit to a cathedral? I realise these are not two activities that go together, but they both form part of the cultural side of exploring the region. You\u2019ll find the Basilica Catedral Nuestra Senora De La Altagracia<\/strong> in Higuey. There\u2019s also Boca De Yuma<\/strong>, a scenic fishing village. Chocomuseo ventures into the world of Dominican cacao and there\u2019s the Don Lucas Cigar Factory<\/strong>. You get to watch and learn how they make them. It’s a fascinating insight, and makes a trip away from the beach worth your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I realise the beaches are beautiful, the golden sands that lead to the crystal-clear waters. It\u2019s easy to sit there and not move! Apart from perhaps to get yourself a cocktail! Punta Cana has some terrific spots to explore the region\u2019s nature. Cotubanama National Park <\/strong>can boast over 300 types of birds and 500 flora species. There are caves along the coastline to explore, such as Cueva De Berna<\/strong>. And for those of you who like hiking, Parque Ecologico Ojos Indigenas<\/strong> is a nature reserve with shaded hiking trails among the tropical forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punta Cana offers its visitors plenty of quality experiences from the pristine, picture book beaches to nature reserves and fine dining in the resorts. Visit here and you\u2019ll most definitely be getting a taste of paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right, after all that touring it\u2019s time to head for the beach, a little swim and snorkel and a nice ice-cold cocktail to cool off! Perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
