Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic!! (ALL BEACHES)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- 2022 Complete overview of Puerto Plata and all beaches in town. This is a very incredible place in the north part of the Dominican Republic. You'll see all beaches from Centro Historico to Playa Dorada. In the coming videos I will be exploring Sosua, Cabarete, Samana, Las Terrenas and more. Previously I had been in Punta Cana, Santo Domingo and Catalina Island.
Christopher Columbus came to this part of the world in 1492 to discover Dominican republic that he then called Hispaniola. The Taino people were the indigenous people, but the Europeans enslaved them and also killed them. The indigenous people also died from diseases that the Europeans had brought. The Spanish started building up towns and centro historico is an example of early buildings found here. I will also film the town of Sosua and Cabarete soon.

Many comments saying Christopher Columbus was Italian. He was born in Italy but spent the majority of his life in Spain, and all crew members on his ship were Spanish, so that's why I think he established a Spanish colony and not Italian.
Besides Italy didn’t exist at that time. Spanish kingdom was the main sponsor of his endeavor, in which many of the people didn’t believe he could ever succeed
I'm no expert. But I think it was because the Spanish monarchy paid for his travels. They were promised land, goods and gold in return.
@@JesusGarcia-cs9wl así es, tanto así que por eso toda America es Católica.
@@Paterson340 en realidad no fue el personalmente quien impuso la esclavitud, fueron los Reyes Católicos de España
He tried a different kingdom first to finance his voyage. Portugal maybe? But it was Spain that agreed, that's who he planted the flag for.
We love your videos so much we booked a trip there. I liked the video ocean views today, spectacular. I also liked how you shared your platform to share the message for the man who collects the trash to preserve the beaches. OMG the coconut 🌴 🥥 climb. Great job William!
FYI, If you take a hair curling iron with you, the airport will confiscate it from you at the airport on your return flight
@@pippilongstocking-qs7fm Only if its in carry-on luggage. If its checked luggage its fine.
Oh glad to hear that thank you!
Greetings from a Dominican boy in New Jersey I want to invite you to my town in Dominican Republic you see I've been waiting for the arrival of many many people who are arriving there or who could be there already
@@thinkcasting3182 ruclips.net/video/pyi0ZfuIIvo/видео.html
That was a terrific video William I really enjoyed it the Dominican Republic looks absolutely pristine
Thanks for that!
William....Thank you for the video! I've been to DR twice but didn't visit the northern area you just showed us. During my next visit I will visit there so thanks for your information. Always enjoy your videos and keep them coming! Cheers!!!
I'm loving the whole vibe of the video. Especially the music. Usually, other RUclipsrs would play Hispanic music like salsa. The instrumentals played so well with the drone shots. Great video.
You are just such an amazing young man with even more amazing character traits! Good for you, William...WOW!!!
Oh thanks for that I appreciate the kindness!
Hello, I see that you are very adventurous. Although climbing a coconut tree is somewhat risky, especially being alone. I grew up in the Dominican Republic. I used to climb almost all the fruit trees except the coconut palms. In the Dominican Republic, many people cannot afford to eat out. On the shores of the street there are many cheap fruit stalls, just ask about the price ( CUANTO CUESTA )beforehand and if you avoid paying tourist prices
Great vid William, the climbing of the coconut tree was awesome, well done you, bravo from England 👍👍
Nice video. Very informative
History from the past ? As opposed to history in the future?
2:19 I want to thank Yohan and his team for keeping those beautiful beaches clean. Such a shame that so many people are irresponsible and throw litter everywhere.
Brother there's plenty of restaurants around there and grocery stores minutes away from where you at use your map on your phone lol. I'm actually from San Felipe Puerto Plata. It's just that you're in the colonial zone which is considered tourist areas of course the prices will by high. Puerto Plata is actually cheap outside the tourist areas way cheaper than Santo Domingo or punta cana
Sugar cane workers are not even remotely representative of the average dominican working class, for starters the minimum wage its around 200 usd a month which i know is not great but still is way more than just 56 usd, futhermore you must consider that a lot of people(the majority i would say) earn more than the minimum wage, most people working in the service sector(tourism, health, education, etc) exceed that pay, some of them by a very large margin.
But again in the historical center, tourist oriented bussines are the norm so it's no surprise that they charge a little bit more than its normal, and no, it's not like some people made you believe, they don't charge different if you are local or tourist, prices are the same for everyone, still though the local middle class will casually show up at those bussiness.
Fantastic video William. Thanks for the history lesson!!!
Loved your video, Im dominican and I live in puerto plata, minimum wage here is around 10 to 12 K pesos (180 to 210 USD), the place you ate is one of many places that are specificaly made to cater to tourist and there for are expensive, specialy europeans since euro coin has a bigger exchange rate than any other curensy, but yeah american and canadians too. for example you paid almost 13 usd for a burger and fries, but in any other place that locals visit they are around 150 pesos (around 2.5 UDS), also if you are looking for specific business policemen are trained to help tourist find anything you may need, we have a specific section of the police for tourist or any non dominican visitors called POLITOUR, they are very polite and well trained and the goberment usually send 1 or 2 to many corners in the streets to check you are secured, give directions and deal with any disturbs that may come, the goberment is very focused in making puerto plata a good experience for any visitors and puerto pata people we are usualy very welcoming.
Puerto Plata is so beautiful, been there twice. Definitely going back someday!
That's great news about "Oceano Limpio." The D.R. is a beautiful place and I'm glad they're taking care of it along with the beaches and oceanfront.
Great video, fun and informative...! Please be careful and even if for an athletic guy like you climbing a palm tree is "easy" do not take the risk of doing it when you are alone in the middle of nowhere...
Thank You William for spending the time to make a good solid video! Really appreciated the interviews and content of this production.
Much appreciated! thank you!
Lovely beaches there. We were there in 2011 and stayed at the Millennium Hotel and resort in Cabarete and it was lovely. I am glad residents are cleaning up the beaches.
Great video: Remember Inflation is hitting everything. Talking about your hamburger meal not too long ago you would’ve paid probably half of what you paid. Prices on everything have gone up everywhere thanks to inflation. And I really feel sorry for them sugarcane workers ,The wages you showed on your video if that is correct that’s next to slave labor them people are getting robbed.!
Looks beautiful, well done William! Don't lose your grip climbing those trees tho!
I wont :P
You missed two huge supermarkets pff the Malecon LA Sirena and Jumbo's modern like Wal Mart also its alot of mice restaurants on the Malecon and near the old part of town, also they have a McDonald's not even a year old a Burger King, Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza etc.. I hope you go further down and visit Sosua and Cabarete if you're still in thr country
Never been to Puerto Plata or Cabarete, I think you've inspired me to check out the North side of the island. I've always visited Punta Cana to Santo Domingo along the Southern coast, Catalina island, etc.
The beginning of the video was very relaxing watching the different coasts and beaches...then you climbed a palm tree and it made me anxious. As for the wages of the locals, I don't think they ever buy food at those cafes, its mostly for tourists.
Yes I would not if I had to work 5 days to be able to go to the restaurant.
@@williamtaudien This is why when we stay there, we always tip all the staff.
That all looked quite a bit nicer than the previous videos ( other than Punta Cana which was gorgeous ) Seems like there'd be more restaurants and food stores though.. looking forward to more.. PLEASE BE SAFE !!! PS GREAT drone shots as ususl... the BEST on RUclips !!!
thank you :)
There are small restaurants ALL OVER the Puerto Plata downtown area, but not a lot in the part he was staying. Within a 10 minute walk there are dozens.
Also, there are several supermarkets in POP, including the very large La Sirena (like a WalMart) which he showed in the background of his video while he was walking down the Malecon. That one is a 5-10 minute walk from his hotel.
For a quick bite to eat, there are little Colmados ALL OVER THE PLACE there that have convience foods. A colmado is like a tiny convenience store. I think William just picked a couple of the wrong streets to walk in his search for food.
Hi Willliam , nice video. I stayed at that hotel you show in the peninsula of playa dorada. Please do not miss the lift that can take you all the way up to the mountain. The view of Puerto Plata and playa dorada is amazing.
Oh I did not know there was a lift!
@@williamtaudien yes, it is called el Teleferico and the view from up there is just magnificent.
Puerto Plata hands down much better then Punta Cana. More authentic experience of the Dominican Republic. You get beach, city and mountain.
Amazing beaches. I never would have thought to come here. It's definitely on my list now
You should!
Love your videos i`m from Puerto Plata but work in Bavaro since our tourism has come very low because of lot of reazons but i know we have a lot more to offer than puntacana. We just need investors that really trust and dont let the Puntacana `MONOPOLY`convince then that were not better.....more than 60% of hoteliers workers here in PC are from Puerto Plata because we were the Number 1 Touristic destiny in DR, but since this people started blocking invesments to oru city we have to come here for jobs
William, on minute 4:14 you are at the boulevar and right behind you is a big mall named `la sirena` that is the place you shoulded gone when buying food, because you wnet to touristic places but that mall is were we go, they sell cheaper and they have all kind of food.....already cooked or ready for it.
I'm so glad you ventured over to Puerto Plata. I met some amazingly kind locals there when I visited 20 years ago. The kite surfers are wild there..safe travels my dear
thank you!
Right were you see the big S with fish tale...they have restaurant on second floor and food is delicious and cheaper tahn your burguer jajajajaja
Hi William Your Drone filming / flying skill are incredible !!
That was cool climbing that Coconut Tree too.
You made that look so ez
🌴😂😂
Thanks 👍 :D
@@williamtaudien Real cool how you can fly your drone real steady over the windy ocean 👍🏻😀
Every were you go in Dr you have to go to the colmado is cheep you bye a lot thing for eat or in the stree you findey fritura
Fun Fact about the DR, they are one of the few countries in Latin America, that has been growing fast but at the same time, they have also grown their forests, reason why no matter where you go in the country it looks so green.
Hi William! What beautiful beaches and flora! I feel like you are much safer in this location. Christopher is a pice of cagada.
I’m also from Ottawa, Ontario Canada and the flights and all inclusive packages from Ottawa to DR and Cuba are dirt cheap!. Btw I was at the edge of my seat watching you climb that tree while filming😮😮
Thanks for another great video! Sometimes the local restaurants offer local residents a discounted price not posted on the menu. Tourists pay the posted price on the menu. That can help with some of the cost of living for locals.
Go and bring your money to another country who respects human rights
Awesome video's Willliam thank you. Its my favorite travelling destination for the last 22 years... Just love it. Thanks again.
Hey William, nice to see that you decided to explore Puerto Plata for a little bit longer. I'm heading there tomorrow on a field day to the beach with family. You seem more relaxed and that's a good thing.
Welcome to the Dominican Republic. Enjoy it. Thanks for visiting us.
Dear William! Thanks for this amazing video! You are an amazing sojourner and wayfarer! From New York City, warmest greetings to my friends!
You really are a good guy. I love your videos. ❤🇩🇴🇩🇴😍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Hellooo... Would you mind sharing what exercise resistance bands you are using? Also, I think it would be interesting to do a video on what you have in the 1 bag you have.. I am going to solo travel in Mexico in February for a year and would love to know what you carry. Thanks brother. I really enjoy your videos. James- NoBossNation...
In the next video I will show some of the exercises I do. Thanks for the comment!
I remember many years ago when I was waiting for an exam, we saw on TV that an airplane full of Germans fell into the ocean right after taking off from Puerto Plata and all were eaten by sharks. That's why I knew Puerto Plata existed.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. We appreciate you so much. You’ve become a household name on RUclips. You’re so informative we thank you for your knowledge and educating us 🙌👏👍
No puedo creer!! Que subiste al árbol de coco!! Creo que esa parte seguro que no es turístico, porque no te permite trepar los cocos 🌴 para evitar accidentes en áreas turísticas
Great Video...Awesome Views...
Thanks William! (Good Honest Fun:)
Puerto Plata always shines bright! ❤ Welcome!
Who does your music? It matches the scenery so beautifully!
Christopher Columbus didn’t discover crap
Yeah he didn't
He discovered a new world. What have you done
THE LOCALS will blame tourists for leaving all the trash but from my experience it's actually the locals who leave most of the trash and simply don't care .I have seen this a lot in the Middle east, Egypt,. Thailand ,Mexico or even in Sicily. 0r Maori in New Zealand
How the hell you climbed this palm tree dude 😅 Amazing and you recorded on the top! Legend 🔥
William we are Spanish mestizo, our ancestros are Tainos, Spaniars, and later Africans.
Actuality is we are the first Americans mestizos, the Taino were not exterminated, but many died from disease brought by Europeans and unknown to indigenous people. Later the French established themselves with African military men, they brought up slaves too.
Pirates like Fracis Drakes tried to sale slaves to the Spanish king and he did not want to.
During the French Revolution slavery was abolished, and the african french military men overtook the Island invading the Spanish side for 22 years to pay France for overtaking their properties, Dominicans paid, and later France inducted it.
The CDN Dollar goes so much further in the Dominican you get spoiled there. Here's to avoiding the CDN tax burden! Great video William! You walked right by my old place @9:36!
Antes de Punta Cana este era el destino turístico numero 1 del oais en los años 70 y 80 y parte de los 90. AHORA esta retornando denuevo, hay mucha actividad de cruceros. Existe un una montaña llamada Isabel de Torres un TELEFÉRICO, único en el país, las playas son del oceano Atlántico, las de playas de Punta Cana son del Mar Caribe..
Another great video by william. 100,000 is coming your way soon.
Hope so! thanks for watching!
Interesting video William. Was in the DM 18 years ago! Memorable beaches❤
William great video, you must go to see Las Terrenas, Bahía de las Aguilas y Jarabacoa, you do not have to miss it!
I will go to Las Terrenas :)
@williamtauien there are always two prices the tourist price $11 USD and local price which is significantly less.
Good stuff, I was wondering, aside from playa dorada, which other beaches you visited would complete your top 3? Do you know or heard if there are any other nice beaches on the west side of the town?
I was in DR but not Puerta Plata, do you think its a safe place? Or Watch your back all the time? The area I was in was not too safe - it was 20 years ago, I forgot the name but it was near the capitol.
Vikings discovered America before the Spaniards, as more and more is discovered peoples from the South Pacific found their way here even earlier, either way like you mentioned in the video, it was already inhabited but that has never stopped the one in power.
I thought the same. I think the owners of these tourist restaurants go for the tourist sucker, because the locals only make a few dollars a day. We lived in Fiji and they made that doing sugar cane.
Actually Columbus was an Italian explorer.
Hope that all is well...have not heard from you in a couple of days. Did you make it to Sosua and Cabarete?
Hello! Puerto Plata is great! Be sure to take the cable car up the mountain! Really beautiful there.
Good clip , yes I agree wages are all out of whack.
Columbo of Northern Italy & the Rheinish culture.
Great video William, Santiago de los Caballeros Next???
Looks beautiful!! 😍
Well done to them for cleaning that trash and educating the people 🎉🎉
beautiful place
It really is!
Hermosas vistas! Gracias por visitarnos a RD.
Dont miss Fortaleza San Felipe and going up on the cable car to Isal de Torres Mountain
Compare this to the hell hole that is Haiti, just on the other side of the island. Why?
Impressive! I'll try your climbing technique
Didn't we just have one of those solar impact
Hey William! Did you see the statue of Neptune behind you off the coastline on its own little island. I could see it behind you.
Yes I did see it!
Lastbilarna med vatten gjorde en demonstration den dagen för deras dåliga arbetsförhållande, därför åtke så många i led, bara för din info.
Thanks for the tour . looks like a nice city ...
Christopher Columbus was a bad dude…😂
Those trucks Carrying water, was not drinking water.
A man of many talents - climbing a coconut palm - oh my word. That looked so very scary. Really nice video informative. Had to watch it again as the scenery was so fantastic. Keep it up William your videos are the best. Take care.
Thanks for that! I appreciate it
You’re nuts going up that coconut tree. 😂😂😂
Yes, Pico Duarte is the tallest mountain in the Caribbean. DR has also the tallest building in the Caribbean, Anacaona 27, in Santo Domingo.
Wow, I would never find anything to eat there with my new complications.
The prices are very inflated in that part of the world in the tourist areas. Guess who drove up the prices?
The tourists
@@williamtaudien Yes and the expats driving up the real estate prices. I don't blame anyone, I am a tourist myself. But there are also different tourists of course. Those with more buying power and those with less buying power.
That is gringo price. Its better to eat in the area where the locals live.
William stay out of that casino!you’ll lose your shirt!
Yes i never went in
William to climb up and down that palm tree,you must be in great shape!
It does take a bit of strength to pull yourself up with your arms but the feet can hold you up quite easily without much effort
Yeah lots of questions around Ole Christopher
Yes they are … the last I heard he was Portuguese . Matter of fact a Portuguese spy .
Herd he was from venice that’s why they have a statue of him there
He was Italian . Spain funded his voyage
@@samv2334 yes he was born in Italy but then lived in Spain for the majority of his life, and the 86 crew members on his ship were Spanish
@@williamtaudien Columbus is not a Spaniard at all. Spanish Queen funded his subsequent voyages. We can use linguistic analysis to trace each vowel & consonant of his name. The Portuguese can confirm he is actually an English from Yorkshire.
Pristine beaches! You are something, William! Climbing in coconut trees! 😄 It is easy to like you!🥰
Oh thank you :)
You are certainly learning a lot about the world, that is from a tourists perspective. I'm sure it's a great adventure and we enjoy traveling with you. However, after a dozen or so videos they all begin to look the same. Beautiful beaches, sunny skies, nice hotels and delicious food. What about the people and their culture? Maybe a few museums to add to our understanding of all these differences.
William is just showing us an ‘overview ‘ of the countries he visits. The only way ‘you’ can find out about the people and the culture, is by ‘you as a traveller’ investing time living in a country. The country I spend time in and know is Mexico. Only because of William’s videos would I now consider a trip to Dominican Republic.
I usually film the things that interest me and what I enjoy. If I enjoyed museums I'd definately include it.
For sure your videos are wonderful, and we enjoy them immensely, but you've also stated many times how important it is for you to reach 100K subscribers. Perhaps you need to consider additional features that will help attract a wider audience. We love you William. God Bless and protect you.
@@robertl5754 Thank-you for being so polite and thoughtful. I appreciate the fact that this site has viewers who are calm, polite and considerate of each other.
@valeriedonovan2282 Thank you Valerie. We love William and will continue to follow his travels. God Bless you. May good karma come your way.
Actually, Christopher Columbus landed on the other side of the Island of Hispaniola, which was Haiti in 1492. Don't forget, there was NO Dominican side just yet, only the Island of Hispaniola. They put the Tanio Indians to work in the silver mines, and all other labors. Killed off 7 million of them by 1535. Then the French showed up, had a little war, the Spanish lost, and kicked Columbus's ass over to the other side of the Island, known as the Dominican Republic. I lived and worked for Royal Caribbean cruise lines in Labadee Haiti in 2000 for 4 months. Wow, what a difference to the other side of the Island !!
The tainos llamaban la Isla haity no ustedes no son de ahi
The indigenous people are some of the 12 Tribes from the Bible that were there before the white man came. They came over from Africa.

Great! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing video William! You are a professional digital nomad!
I enjoy watching your videos!
Glad you enjoy it! thank you!
