I was unaware that there was such an organization as the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Puerto Plata is such a beautiful place and I wish to bring my family there again in the near future. I was very glad to read about this article on this website.

If so, stay at home. This spetacular, road is meant for sightseeing. Also for stopping 5-6 times for a cervasa & conversation with the locals! So, relax & have a beautiful drive! I have done it many times! Would you rather be on a 70mph 6 lane freeway.

YES, YOU MUST TAKE IT EASY IN MANY PLACES AND THERE ARE SOME PLACES WHERE IT IS PURELY DANGEROUS BUT IF IT WERE CLEANED UP AND PAVED IT IS SPECTACULAR. AS FOR THE MISSING PIECES, I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT GETS THEM REPAIRED/REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!! I STILL MAINTAIN THAT IT IS A BEAUTIFUL ROAD AND VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Las politicas absurdas y atrasadas de los resorts en cuanto se refiere a que un turista pueda entrar con una persona local son ridiculas. Los hoteles que dicen ser "todo inclusivo" y cobran como tal pero al mismo tiempo ponen restricciones como teniendo que apuntarse a cierta hora para que uno pueda aprovechar de los restaurantes que ya uno pago y si no lo hace te quedaste sin comer en ese restaurante que querias. Los cuartos con muchas faltas de mantenimiento. duchas taponeadas por calcificacion de los agujeros, Refregidadores que no enfrian. Toma corrientes que no funcionan. Hay que pagar estacionamiento en la Plaza de Playa Dorada si te pasas de cierto tiempo. Asi que vas a comprar y a comer a un restaurante y tienes que pagar por estacionar tu vehiculo. Y haci piensan atraer turismo? Falta de actividades afuera del resort. Vendedores ambulantes que no te dejan disfrutar de la playa y no te dan paz ni privacidad. Son pocos los negocios locales que ponen los precios de sus productos, cobran mas caro a los turistas que a los locales. Las condiciones de las calles, la falta de luz. Le quitaron la vida y el sabor Dominicano al malecon con eliminar los carritos de comida para poner las casetas con sus restricciones al tener que vender las cervesas caras. La ley estupida de cerrar las discotecas a las doce de la noche. los turistas nos acostamos a las doce? Solamente salimos a bailar los fines de semana? Idiotas.
