Mount Isabel de Torres

Hike your way up or hop on the only cable car in the Caribbean to reach Mount Isabel de Torres, flanked by a giant statue of Christ the Redeemer–one of the province’s iconic landmarks. You’ll be standing 793 meters (2,600 feet) above Puerto Plata’s verdant hills, surrounded with phenomenal views of Puerto Plata’s Atlantic Ocean and beaches in the distance. Once at the peak, hike the beautiful botanical gardens filled with local flora, caves, and plenty of areas for respite from the sun.
