The Peninsula of Samana and Las Terrenas
Las
Terrenas, located approximately 245 km east of Puerto Plata, must be
accessed by one of two mountain roads. If you are coming from the west,
you would turn left after the town of Sánchez. If you are arriving
from the east, you would drive through Samaná, and turn right
on the road towards El Limón and El Portillo.
Once
you're on either road it will take another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to
reach the town of Las Terrenas. The road from Sánchez is the most
exciting route to take. This curvy, steep road takes you through the
Cordillera Samaná mountain range. Go slowly and you'll see spectacular
views of Samaná Bay and Parque Los Haitises on the south side,
and the Atlantic coast on the north side.
Along
the way you'll see brightly painted Dominican homes, as well as the unique
farming and vegetation of the area, including 60 varieties of palms.
Upon arrival in Las Terrenas, you'll be awed with the calmness of the
area and the beautiful white sand beach lined with tall palms and pastel-colored
wooden fishing boats. The next thing you may notice is its Mediterranean-influenced
atmosphere.
There
are plenty of cafés and oceanfront restaurants where people can
be found sipping wine, over long, leisurely lunches, or having a mid-day
break over a café latte. Shops there offer a variety of arts and
crafts, many of them unique handmade items that can be difficult to find
elsewhere in the Dominican Republic. Activity-wise, you can enjoy watersports
like snorkeling, diving, windsurfing and kiteboarding. The 4-wheel drive
and horseback riding trips are also popular because they allow you to
see otherwise non-accessible areas of beauty. If you just want to plant
yourself on a beautiful beach you can also visit closeby Playa Bonita
or Playa Las Ballenas.
