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.
