Santo Domingo is about three hours west of Punta Cana, and the Colonial Zone at the heart of it is the oldest surviving European settlement in the Americas. UNESCO listed it in 1990 and it is still a normal, lived-in neighbourhood.

You walk it with a licensed guide: the first cathedral built in the Americas, the Alcázar de Colón where Diego Colón lived, Calle Las Damas, Parque Colón and the fortress looking out over the Ozama river.

Lunch is a proper Dominican sit-down meal in the old town, followed by free time for coffee, amber, larimar or cigars before the drive back.
