The resort of Punta-Cana, proud of its snow-white sands, unfortunately does not possess any significant historical places, with the exception of the Ponce de Leon Museum, which would be worth it to visit, but this does not mean that it doesn't even be bored and rest Fully will only be beach. This place is famous for its natural attractions that are no worse than created by man, and often better. But let's start with historical.
Museum of Juan Ponce de Leon. Located directly in the house of this famous conquistador, the colonizer Puerto Rico and the Florida's primary retainer, whose name is one of Puerto Rico cities. The house is a fortress intended to be able to fight off from the attacks of the Tainen Tribe Indians. The house was renovated and partially restored in the middle of the last century and now the exposition is open in it dedicated to both de Leon, as well as a collection of antique furniture and artifacts of antiquity found directly on the territory of Punta Kana. To understand the scale of the personality of the conquistador, it is worth saying only that he was a close friend of Christopher Columbus and a special approximate to the King Ferdinand Catholic.
The museum works 5 days a week, from 10:00 to 17:00. Weekend Sunday and Monday.
We now turn to natural beauties.
Eco-park "Eyes of Nature". The huge reserve occupies the territory of a slightly more than 600 hectares, with a largest virgin nature, in which more than 500 types of disappearing fauna representatives live. You can walk around the park, both on your own and with a guide (there is no Russian-speaking), and at the end of the walk you can swim in transparent, but very cold water in one of the eleven lagun that are in this reserve. The name of the park was given just these lagows, called the aborigines not otherwise as "eyes".
Cave Padre Naestro. Real diver's dream. The unique cave consisting of several underwater tunnels with a total length of more than 180 meters and a width of 12-22 meters. Located at a depth of 14 meters. Find her in dense thickets of the jungle on their own, practically not real, and even descend to depth without instructors and conductors, it is extremely dangerous, even though a cable for convenience extended throughout the route.
Cave Taino. Another place is your favorite divers. The name was received from the local tribe, for which she was considered sacral, for the cult rites were held in it. Here you can observe a unique phenomenon that has a name - galkinine, this is when the illusion of the vagueness of the surrounding is formed as a result of mixing sea and fresh water. The cave is a network of confused tunnels with hanging stalagmites, at a depth of 18 meters, some of them have not been studied so far.
Punta-Cana beaches, you can also rightfully attribute to natural sights.
Macau Beach. Truly a paradise. Surprisingly clean and fine sand, cool shadow from coconut palm trees, beautiful reef and sea. With the sea, suitable that rarely happens, both swimming (gentle descent, small depth and small waves at the shore), and for surfing (a little bit of waves have sufficient height). Great place and leisure with children.
Beach Colelet. The only private beach on Dominican Republic, which belongs to Donald Trump. Entrance to the beach is paid, the price of $ 30, but it is not so expensive, compared with the emotions from the beauty that can be obtained here. Moreover, the chance to face the world celebrity is quite high, because here the popular magazines spend their photo shoots. Here you can quickly and quickly associate yourself with the Uzami Gimenta, for this the beach has a special house for ceremonies. True, the marriage perfect here is not recognized in Russia, but romantic.
Playa Bavaro Beach. This is the most popular beach among tourists and you can attach it to the attractions with stretch, but since the place is very beautiful and largely kept your gloss since the times when the beaches of the Caribbean were not mastered.
It is along this beach that the most elegant hotels of the Dominican Republic are built.
That's basically it. Well, if this is not enough, then in Punta Cana still do not have to miss. A huge amount of excursions offered by local travel agencies will not allow this to do. Here and jeep safaris, and horseback riding, and magnificent rafting.
