Dominican Republic Map
The Dominican Republic is a beautiful country located on the eastern (two-thirds) of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. Did you know that Hispaniola is the second-largest of the Greater Antilles islands, and lies west of Puerto Rico and east of the islands of Jamaica and also Cuba?. Hispaniola is formed by Dominican Republic and Haiti. You should also know that Dominican sometimes refer to their country as Quisqueya, (which means "high land", a name for Hispaniola used by indigenous Taíno people referring to the highest portion of the island of Hispaniola). The Dominican Republic is not to be confused with Dominica, another island in the Caribbean. For much of the 20th century the the government of the Dominican Republic was unsettled and mostly non-representative. Since the death of military dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in 1961 the Dominican Republic has moved towards representative democracy. As you can see in the map above, Punta Cana is located very close to Higuey. You can stay at any resort in Punta Cana and take a trip to any of the cities located in Dominican Republic. Hotels in Punta Cana have different trips available for their guests, so you will have many to choose from. Source:Wikipedia.org
