PUERTO PLATA and the nearby Playa Dorada comprise the mass tourism capital of the Caribbean. Puerto Plata is a vibrant Dominican town of 200,000 that's well worth exploring for its historic architecture and nightlife.

Around the original town sprawls a patchwork maze of industrial zones and concrete barrios known as the New City, formed over the past century with the growth of the town's industry.
