The Dominican Republic has one of the world's largest reserves of amber - petrified sap from trees that grew there 50 million years ago. The largest piece of amber found there weighed 21 pounds (9.5 kg).
Major city of the department just 297 kilometers from the capital. This is the cradle of Dulce River’s watercourse stretching out for 42 kilometers and where most stores, marketplaces, hotels, restaurants and nightclubs are imbedded. To get down to Puerto Barrios, you can drive down the road to the Atlantic coast or just take a plane. Once you get to the pier down the cobbled roads, you could check in at one of the many hotels there where good service and nice accompaniments are the name of the game. They also give you the chance of being within a stone’s throw of most of the town’s sightseeing spots. Swinging by its restaurants will make you want to stay for good. The food is perfect and exquisite; the service is superb; the ambience is so intimate in each and every one of them that will be the pretext you cling to for coming back soon. Having fun is as easy as dropping in on the nightclubs around town. Restless nights with plenty of singing and dancing, laughter and drinks, will make that night one to remember. Come to Puerto Barrios right away, a destination that offers you the most incredible landscapes, only compared to those up in heaven.
