Snap the Ultimate Vacation Photo
Whether you’re a professional photographer or just want to make your Instagram followers jealous, finding the best places for photography in Puerto Plata is a breeze. This city is arguably the most photogenic on the island, bursting with vibrant colors and dramatic landscapes.
Start in the historic center. Umbrella Street (Calle de las Sombrillas) is iconic. The street is completely covered by brightly colored umbrellas suspended in the air, creating a magical canopy. Right next to it is the Pink Street (Paseo de Doña Blanca), an alleyway where absolutely everything—walls, benches, and flowers—is painted in vibrant magenta.
For nature shots, take the Cable Car to Mount Isabel de Torres. The view of the city and the Atlantic Ocean from the top is breathtaking, especially on a clear day. The replica of Christ the Redeemer statue at the summit also makes for an epic focal point. Finally, head to the Fortaleza San Felipe at golden hour; the contrast of the ancient stone walls against the fiery Caribbean sunset is pure perfection.
