Our culture have hispanic and taino influence. African culture influence is the base of the Haitian culture, Haiti was founded with african and french slaves. We have some struggle defending and saving our history and culture patrimony at this times. We are a Christian based society: Dios, Patria y Libertad.
I took a bus from Santo Domingo to Santiago once- best part was the vendors who got on to sell freshly roasted and still warm cashews. I can still smell it in my mind's nose....
@@Rangeray... It's pretty hard to mistake a Dominican for a Haitian. The language, for one, is a dead giveaway. Even if they have Spanish it sounds like French. Beyond that, people have to eat. If you have no empathy for the problems that have plagued Haiti- that certainly speaks to your character. It's a shame the Dominican people can't show the same hospitality and patience with Haitians as say, the Colombians show the Venezuelans. People in a bad way survive however they can.
I have lived all of my life here 30 + years and honestly I have NEVER traveled or gone abroad even though my mother held office in an international position where I could easily traveler wherever I would like and I have never wanted to even visit anywhere else because the DR has it all. Now in all fareness this can be an amazing place to retire but living here the struggle is real.
So glad you liked la Zona Colonial. You will love Samana, beaches are gorgeous and the architecture is a mix of Victorian and Cocola ( African descendants originally non Hispanic). The most famous church would be the St. Peter also known as La Chorcha. If you are visiting beaches Las Terrenas and Playa Isla Cayo Levantado is a must, also playa Las Galeras, Punta Bonita, Playa Coson, El Portillo, Playa Rincon, Playa El Valle, Boca del Diablo/ Playa El Fronton and the waterfall Salto del Limon. Also, the national parks are Los Haitises and Cabo Cabron. I'm from a small town called Bonao and my family had a house in Las Terrenas, thought you might enjoy these places if they are not part of your itinerary yet.
Hi Heidy - my friend and I will be visiting your beautiful country in the next couple of weeks. Are there any safety precautions we should be aware of for two women traveling around all of the areas you call out above?
@@bickismit Hi Bickismit, the Dominican Republic is pretty safe for tourist overall, crime rates are similar to other Caribbean destinations, but I do understand your concerns since being a woman and traveling alone or with another female friend can pose risks in most countries. As for risks usually we tell all our tourist to look out for petty crimes, don't flash an expensive cell phone, jewelry, high dollar(or any other currency) purses or anything that will attract attention to your person. Would recommend crossbody purses, small to carry some money and your phones or documents that you may need, some areas will be safe after dark because of the touristic nightlife but mainly stick to well lit main roads whenever possible and do not go exploring after dark unless in a large group with a tour guide. If you are planning to stay in Santo Domingo in the Colonial Zone, most areas are fine to walk in and explore without problems since these areas have a lot of tourist exploring the old city. There is also presence of our touristic police and the crime rates are normally pretty low in the area. If you need transportation I recommend the shuttle transfer services from the airport that are in the tourist systems, public transport is also good if you know were your are headed and taxis, can use Uber as well . If staying in an all inclusive hotel, they provide the transportation, stay in the hotel area and explore with the help of the hotel services, they usually have great tour plans to multiple places, including places to visit, site see, clubs at night and you can even go shopping if you would like. They can provide you with itineraries that you can choose from and do what you want. If you are backpacking and looking for adventure I can make some recommendations of places to travel too that are safe for tourist. You may encounter a lot of people trying to charge you extra for things and wanting to get extra cash from you without really giving a good service as well, this is unfortunate but our government has not made it into a law that tourist cannot be charged extra for the same services that locals receive. Hope you have a safe and wonderful trip, enjoy and if you like beer "Presidente" is the best one. Take care.
@@heidyfrias3158 wow, Gracias por tomarte tu Tiempo y explicarle 100% todo and Puerto Plata is one of the most tourist-friendly cities in the country feel free to walk around anywhere one love from Santiago
At the tres ojos lake cabes, you can go to the larger lake that you show last by using the 🛥️ that you show earlier. So when you saw that downstairs, you go and they ask for $5 pesos to bring you across the lake (the one that didn't have sun, the second one you showed). They bring you across and is very big, you missed 1/2 of the trip, the lake there is bigger, it has fish and you can see marks of the natives that were there before colonials arrived. Its pretty cool. Also to answer about swin in the lake. In the past yes, you were allowed, so that the lake called las damas was just for girls, the lakes were separated by gender when it was allowed to use, so its believe that was before the 1900's. Now we don't want it to get polute by people, so its no allowed to keep it clean. :)
Amazing architecture, different, unique and well preserved. Noted a sign on the gates dating back to 1523. Clever use of corals, blending with the bricks, never seen this before. It was nice to see where and how Christopher Columbus lived. He was a real pioneer. Your presentations are excellent, packed with a lot of data. I enjoy it very much. Thank you to you and your glamorous wife 👍🏻
DR is a beautiful country!!!! I can't wait to visit the country. Thank you for showing me a glimpse of this wonderful country!!!! What places would you recommend to visit when you go out to Santo Domingo? Restaurants (if you ate at any)?
If you're staying in the capital city, the Zona Colonial would be a nice place. You'll find hotels, historic sites, and restaurants (it's hard to say which ones are the best; it will depend on your taste, but there's a bit of everything). If you walk around, you'll find you'll find something you'll love. But you can also visit the Polígono Central, which is the modern area of the city. Adrian Tropical is a nice restaurant, and there are many others. If you want to see some nice beaches, I'd recommend Samana, either the Cayo Levantado beach or any of the beaches in Las Galeras; there are many and they are not crowded. Las Terrenas, Puerto Plata, Cabarete, Sosua, and Punta Cana are very nice towns, but a bit more lively; hence, crowded.
While in DR, try their natural fruit juice (chinola, guava, papaya "lechosa") . If you end up in the beach, try their local fried fish with totones (fry plantain) and Johnny Yaniqueque (fried tortillas).
A truly beautiful place! We just passed through there, got two videos coming out from around there 😁 btw, is it common to have issues with scammers around Samana? We had issues pretty much daily with the locals.
Next time you go to Santo Domingo, try to visit also thee modern part, there are nice restaurants (Adrians Tropical) and malls (Agora Mall), specially if you visit these neighborhoods: Piantini, Bella Vista, Naco you'll find good stuff there
Your video is just a perfect timing for me..i was browsing for a good deal for a trip there on December.. now you give me lots of ideas where and what to do.. aside from staying at the beach.. i am excited 😃
What an interesting place! It looks incredible, so much history there. Thanks for showing us around, very much looking forward to watching your subsequent DR videos!
I have lived all of my life here 30 + years and honestly, I have NEVER traveled or gone abroad even though my mother held office in an international position where I could easily traveler wherever I would like and I have never wanted to even visit anywhere else because the DR has it all. Now in all fairness, this can be an amazing place to retire but living here the struggle is real.
me podria decir en donde se puede quedar una persona nacida en Santo Domingo, despues de 30 an~os fuera del pais. ?? Me encantaria rentar un departamento en Santo Domingo, Como hacer sin que me estafen ?? Hay mucha gente estafando alla, pero Como hago para Evitarlos.?? Pudiera Yo Sacar Mi Cedula, buscar mi acta de nacimiento en el Registro Nacional, y quedarme a vivir alla, aunque ahora tambien tengo La Ciudadania America con Pasaporte America de USA ?? Para mi es importante Regresar y quedarme alla un tiempo, pero No Se, No tengo quien me Guie despues de Casi 37 an~os que vivo alla.
Great place and so rich in history!! Such a beautiful place and the castle and forts are awesome. never knew Columbus had a son let alone live there. such amazing nature walk you both took. Loved everything and the nice little place you are staying in. Our trip started off really bad with almost missing a fight because of customs and then are car was messed up. then found our phones did not work here. Had to buy a cheep phone to get google maps so we can get travelling. I was awake for two days since are flight was 3:30 am. I hope this gets better and it is rainy season as well haha. Peace my friends and loved this video. Take care and look forward to your next video.
If someone reading this is interested in coming to DR, the lockdown will be totally lifted in the Capital and Punta Cana starting next monday (08/09/2021). The rest of the country still has a 11pm curfew.
Excellent look at a new country for you both. Many things to see there of history, culture and nature. Thank you for another well presented and informative video.
That is fantastic.You are not wasting time at all.You like to work full time and that is why we adore you and we respect you a lot.Another excellent film and you are now full time professionals.You can start to think about some movie productions in the nearest future.You are very good actors too and Carolina is absolutely gorgeous young lady with tremendous experience and super talent.Thank you very much for all your affords to produce such a great movies.God bless.
Hi u guys thanks for sharing that beautiful video it’s much appreciated!! The Dominican Republic is very beautiful! I’ve been there a few years ago, but we went to Punta Cana and the beaches are very beautiful!! But we went on a package deal from Toronto, we love it so much that we went back for a second visit! Stay safe always! God bless you and your wife !!! 🙏🙏🙏♥️🌹
thank you for the historical tour of Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. watching carol in a black dress, it reminds me of the retro song.." LOS BRAVOS - "BLACK IS BLACK". released in 1966.
Greetings from Texas! Absolutely enjoy watching you and Carol tour and explore different parts of the world many of us can only dream about. I appreciate ya'll sharing your experiences. Take care on your new adventure!
Tenia que entrar a nuestra capital Santo Domingo que se ha comvertido en una gran metropoli sin nada que envidiarle a las grande ciudades del mundo con unos edifio precioso que pena que solo te quedara en la zona colonial
You definitely want have to worry about rain in Aruba. It rarely rains. Also Aruba has the second to the largest water distillation plant in the world, so you can drink the water and not get sick.
Gratitude for this fantastic vlog on Santo Domingo! Your insights and vivid storytelling have given me a virtual tour that I thoroughly enjoyed and left me yearning to explore this enchanting destination again!
Hello Chis and Carol!! Nice apartment!!! And the location seems like el viejo San Juan here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 the colon plaza spaniard buildings is practically the same, some places look like my childhood town like villa palmeras, rio piedras barrio obrero… places may be you could remember passing by; the prices here are double than that restaurant; that cave is unreal beautiful really impressive; weather it’s practically the same as here; thanks for sharing im glad you both are fine and doing great!!! Have food trip!!!👍🏼😎🇵🇷
We almost were going to head back to Puerto Rico but then decided here to go somewhere new, definitely need to head back there and explore more though!
Maybe it seems less crowded in the DR cuz 2m Dominicans live in the U.S. vs. 10m there and they know not to come back to their country during the rainy season. 😉 Yeah, Santo Domingo from what I’ve read has a lot of history - glad u guys checked out historical stuff. Cenotes are always cool. 👍👍
Great video I love it!! Thank you so much you remind me so many lovely memories of" LA ZONA COLONIAL" .. YOU HAVE A VERY RELAXING WAY OF TELLING US THE BEAUTY AND HISTORY OF Santo Domingo Dominican Republic -zona colonial...please what's the name of the Place you stay??.. Its very romantic and covinient...Thank you so much 💗
Nice old town in Sto Domingo. I miss those old colonial towns/historic centres of Lat Am. Only hear of the resorts in Dominican Rep which snowbirds flock to in the winter. We still can get and spread covid (whichever variant) even vaccinated. It only minimizes the chances of getting very sick, going into hospital or worse dying of it. So far from your videos, Portugal and Cabo look very interesting. But travel is off the table for now hopefully until next year. I can't stand wearing mask either, face shields or worse dressing up like an astronaut to get on a plane. Enjoy and hope you make it to Brazil at some point. :-)
Great video; love your laid back personalities! Most of us will never get to these parts of the world; so thank you for giving us a peek. Pretty cool pad & only $24 a nite! The underground lakes are cool; Tangerine Travels showed similar ones where you can actually jump off the top into the water, there were a lot of bats in there! Ugh, no thanks!
You missed the fun part at Los Tre Ojos, that light blue raft that you saw takes you to the open lake you showed from the outside and is very cool view from inside.
I know you guys are talking Aruba and Curaçao but Bonaire is quite amazing.Great snorkeling at Little Bonaire. Small and quaint. Aruba is a tourist trap. Curaçao is nice. Great area at Jan Thiel.
We were going to do all 3 but the flight to Bonaire was over 200 usd per person one way so we skipped that one, Aruba should be ok now in low season and during covid. Don’t think there will be too many people there
I’d highly recommend staying in Pietermaai area in Curacao as opposed to Jan Thiel. The latter has an artificial created beach and a few lovely restaurants (Zest is a really nice place) but Pietermaai has much more to offer in terms of gastronomy and it’s also walking distance to Willemstad. During daytime you can visit several beaches by car (Cas Abou, Grote Knip, Porto Marie). Love the island and especially the vibe. A lot of Dutchies like myself there. Enjoy!
Wow..nice info and footage. I've been to Santiago and the North coast but never Santo Domingo. Will be there nest trip and visit those sites you showed us. The lake looks interesting.
We also have the Sea of Clouds here in the mountains of the northern Philippines. That’s amazing though like a green bowl of white fluffy soup. 🥳 Happy holidays!
I’m a new subscriber, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Loved the video, too bad it’s the rainy season otherwise it would have been more beautiful and colorful under the sun and blue sky. I hope you visit the Dunes in the southern city of Baní, my native region. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Have a wonderful experience and a safe trip. Blessings 🙏🏼🍀
Bueno debo decirte que la columna que viste donde estaban las vacas de metal es un reloj solar y el monumento que estaba al frente de ella es La casa de los reyes, lo que era la corte real. Lastima que no pudiste entrar a la casa de Diego Colón quedan algunos mobiliarios originales de la época. También decir que en la zona hay museo del ámbar, del cacao, la casa del ron, del tabaco, entre otros lugares de interés.
Hi guys! Nice video, I’m Dominican and I’ve never been inside this castle, I mean I’ve been around there many times but never inside, pretty cool, very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Hiya Chris and Carol, not sure how I missed this. Beautiful tour around. Great drone footage. Always great content. Cool tunes. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. Take care
Thanks for sharing amazing video, from my country The Colonial City was declared by Unesco World Heritage, 1990, and it was the first permanent European settlement in America, Francis Drake attack this zone if you a too much cannons was the defensive lines to this attacks of the Pirates!!! and took Santo Domingo in 1586 .
Hi there! Dont know if anyone has already told you, but if you had taken that raft in the second lake, you would have been able to see the fourth open air lake much closer and you would have gotten amazing pics.
Great video. Thank you. We visited Bayahibe in April. Stayed at an all inc. Amazing beach. Hilton La Romana, Bayahibe. We went to Santo Domingo many, many moons ago, for our honeymoon. Next time, we will go the capital and check it our again. Loved the fish plates you posted. Looked delicious and very reasonably priced.
Nice video, I’ve been to Santo Domingo before COVID , only once though I visited a few sites there too and had supper at the same place you had lunch; thanks for reminding me
Watch all our Dominican Republic Travel Videos here:

The Dominican Republic has a distinctive culture, history and architecture!
Yeah 😁
What do you mean mixed culture?
@@dennisdaniels2992 our culture have influence from Africa, Europe, and Taino
Who are you?
Our culture have hispanic and taino influence. African culture influence is the base of the Haitian culture, Haiti was founded with african and french slaves.
We have some struggle defending and saving our history and culture patrimony at this times.
We are a Christian based society: Dios, Patria y Libertad.
I took a bus from Santo Domingo to Santiago once- best part was the vendors who got on to sell freshly roasted and still warm cashews. I can still smell it in my mind's nose....
in Dominican Republic most vendors in everywere are haitians who enters the country ilegaly.
@@Rangeray... It's pretty hard to mistake a Dominican for a Haitian. The language, for one, is a dead giveaway. Even if they have Spanish it sounds like French. Beyond that, people have to eat. If you have no empathy for the problems that have plagued Haiti- that certainly speaks to your character. It's a shame the Dominican people can't show the same hospitality and patience with Haitians as say, the Colombians show the Venezuelans. People in a bad way survive however they can.
So far, the Dominican Republic looks pretty wonderful.
It’s wonderful 🇩🇴🥰

RD no es una isla, es una nacion, un pais. La isla es La Espanola.
@@Rangeray... si, es grande, 78 mil kmts , para un pais en el Caribe, no esta mal, Gracias por vernos como una nacion, siempre seras bienvenido!
So glad you liked la Zona Colonial. You will love Samana, beaches are gorgeous and the architecture is a mix of Victorian and Cocola ( African descendants originally non Hispanic). The most famous church would be the St. Peter also known as La Chorcha. If you are visiting beaches Las Terrenas and Playa Isla Cayo Levantado is a must, also playa Las Galeras, Punta Bonita, Playa Coson, El Portillo, Playa Rincon, Playa El Valle, Boca del Diablo/ Playa El Fronton and the waterfall Salto del Limon. Also, the national parks are Los Haitises and Cabo Cabron. I'm from a small town called Bonao and my family had a house in Las Terrenas, thought you might enjoy these places if they are not part of your itinerary yet.
I love Samana most beautiful place to visit, it´s a dream to be there! wonderfullllllllllllllllllllllllll

@@bickismit Hi Bickismit, the Dominican Republic is pretty safe for tourist overall, crime rates are similar to other Caribbean destinations, but I do understand your concerns since being a woman and traveling alone or with another female friend can pose risks in most countries. As for risks usually we tell all our tourist to look out for petty crimes, don't flash an expensive cell phone, jewelry, high dollar(or any other currency) purses or anything that will attract attention to your person. Would recommend crossbody purses, small to carry some money and your phones or documents that you may need, some areas will be safe after dark because of the touristic nightlife but mainly stick to well lit main roads whenever possible and do not go exploring after dark unless in a large group with a tour guide.

While in DR, try their natural fruit juice (chinola, guava, papaya "lechosa") . If you end up in the beach, try their local fried fish with totones (fry plantain) and Johnny Yaniqueque (fried tortillas).
I really like the architect of the churches reminds me of Spain or Italy wish the churches in the U.S. could have the same look
Dominican Republic was colonized by the spanish thats why
Always wanted to visit Dominican Republic, interesting video guys 🇩🇴🇬🇧👍

@@JumpingPlaces take your time there, it’s great to see their culture and their places
God bless our brothers in Puerto Rico. Saludos desde Santo Domingo
Very nice guys. Have a safe trip. I hope you don't have too many stomach problems Chris. Please be careful. Love Carol's oufit.
buen reportaje muy profesional 👍👍👍👍🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Maybe it seems less crowded in the DR cuz 2m Dominicans live in the U.S. vs. 10m there and they know not to come back to their country during the rainy season. 😉 Yeah, Santo Domingo from what I’ve read has a lot of history - glad u guys checked out historical stuff. Cenotes are always cool. 👍👍
Wow😍wonderful place and beautiful architecture ❤️
Thanks for filming this.
Enjoy your new destination!!! DR has so much natural beauty, hope you get to experience all of it. ☀️🌴Jumping Places 🌴💫
Great video I love it!! Thank you so much you remind me so many lovely memories of" LA ZONA COLONIAL" .. YOU HAVE A VERY RELAXING WAY OF TELLING US THE BEAUTY AND HISTORY OF Santo Domingo Dominican Republic -zona colonial...please what's the name of the Place you stay??.. Its very romantic and covinient...Thank you so much 💗
Nice old town in Sto Domingo. I miss those old colonial towns/historic centres of Lat Am. Only hear of the resorts in Dominican Rep which snowbirds flock to in the winter. We still can get and spread covid (whichever variant) even vaccinated. It only minimizes the chances of getting very sick, going into hospital or worse dying of it. So far from your videos, Portugal and Cabo look very interesting. But travel is off the table for now hopefully until next year. I can't stand wearing mask either, face shields or worse dressing up like an astronaut to get on a plane. Enjoy and hope you make it to Brazil at some point. :-)
Great video; love your laid back personalities! Most of us will never get to these parts of the world; so thank you for giving us a peek. Pretty cool pad & only $24 a nite! The underground lakes are cool; Tangerine Travels showed similar ones where you can actually jump off the top into the water, there were a lot of bats in there! Ugh, no thanks!
It seems you are an expert on finding cheap, good places. Good job.
You missed the fun part at Los Tre Ojos, that light blue raft that you saw takes you to the open lake you showed from the outside and is very cool view from inside.
I know you guys are talking Aruba and Curaçao but Bonaire is quite amazing.Great snorkeling at Little Bonaire. Small and quaint. Aruba is a tourist trap. Curaçao is nice. Great area at Jan Thiel.
We were going to do all 3 but the flight to Bonaire was over 200 usd per person one way so we skipped that one, Aruba should be ok now in low season and during covid. Don’t think there will be too many people there
I’d highly recommend staying in Pietermaai area in Curacao as opposed to Jan Thiel. The latter has an artificial created beach and a few lovely restaurants (Zest is a really nice place) but Pietermaai has much more to offer in terms of gastronomy and it’s also walking distance to Willemstad. During daytime you can visit several beaches by car (Cas Abou, Grote Knip, Porto Marie). Love the island and especially the vibe. A lot of Dutchies like myself there. Enjoy!
Thanks for the tips 😁
I can't wait to go back to DR just to eat the food😋😋😍🇩🇴
Wow..nice info and footage. I've been to Santiago and the North coast but never Santo Domingo. Will be there nest trip and visit those sites you showed us. The lake looks interesting.
Thank you 😊 and for you to be able to see the last lake on the 3 ojos you need to ride the boat that takes you to that place but you didn’t take it.
We also have the Sea of Clouds here in the mountains of the northern Philippines. That’s amazing though like a green bowl of white fluffy soup. 🥳 Happy holidays!
I was thinking of traveling here but the thing holding me back is the curfew...even earlier on weekends.
I’m a new subscriber, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Loved the video, too bad it’s the rainy season otherwise it would have been more beautiful and colorful under the sun and blue sky. I hope you visit the Dunes in the southern city of Baní, my native region. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Have a wonderful experience and a safe trip. Blessings 🙏🏼🍀
Bueno debo decirte que la columna que viste donde estaban las vacas de metal es un reloj solar y el monumento que estaba al frente de ella es La casa de los reyes, lo que era la corte real. Lastima que no pudiste entrar a la casa de Diego Colón quedan algunos mobiliarios originales de la época. También decir que en la zona hay museo del ámbar, del cacao, la casa del ron, del tabaco, entre otros lugares de interés.
Hi guys! Nice video, I’m Dominican and I’ve never been inside this castle, I mean I’ve been around there many times but never inside, pretty cool, very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Bella Pais I been there have to come back
Everything was beautiful 🇩🇴👌

My motherland 🇩🇴
Welcome to Dominican Republic. I moved here pre-pandemic. I also live in Santo Domingo. I moved here from NYC
This video is pure amazement ..
Lovely city Santo domingo and the whole country.
Enjoy your trip.God bless you and your family
Es hermoso ver un extranjero visitarnos y que le guste nuestra isla.
Thanks for sharing amazing video, from my country The Colonial City was declared by Unesco World Heritage, 1990, and it was the first permanent European settlement in America, Francis Drake attack this zone if you a too much cannons was the defensive lines to this attacks of the Pirates!!! and took Santo Domingo in 1586 .
Nice stroll, lots of great footage 👍
Hi there! Dont know if anyone has already told you, but if you had taken that raft in the second lake, you would have been able to see the fourth open air lake much closer and you would have gotten amazing pics.
Very nice historical video-learned a lot. I would recommend not wearing gold chains.
All over the place they robe you what a racist comments
@@jonathanurena8295 Be practical, not everything is racist.
Great video. Thank you. We visited Bayahibe in April. Stayed at an all inc. Amazing beach. Hilton La Romana, Bayahibe. We went to Santo Domingo many, many moons ago, for our honeymoon. Next time, we will go the capital and check it our again. Loved the fish plates you posted. Looked delicious and very reasonably priced.
I love the piano music in the beginning of video, anyone know who/what the name of the song is?
Nice video, I’ve been to Santo Domingo before COVID , only once though I visited a few sites there too and had supper at the same place you had lunch; thanks for reminding me
Lucky you are here when the curfew moves to 11pm as of today. Cheers and welcome.... Long time viewer of your channel.
I WENT TO THOSE UNSERGROUND LAKES AND IT'S REALLY NICE
Que chingon!
