Puerto Plata

Puerto Plata stretches from the Atlantic shoreline to the foothills of the Cordillera Septentrional, encompassing a historic port city framed by tropical slopes. Mount Isabel de Torres rises above the urban area and is reached by a cable car, while the coast includes the long Malecón seafront and beaches west of the centre. Puerto Plata developed as an important Dominican port; Fortaleza San Felipe, built by the Spanish in the 16th century, still stands beside the harbour. The city is also closely associated with Dominican amber, displayed at the Amber Museum. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Puerto Plata.
