Puerto Plata is one of the most beautiful underrated city in the Dominican Republic. There is so much to see and do there. I love Puerto Plata. So happy you guys had a great time there. Love the video 👍

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We also think it’s highly underrated! It’s such a fun city - Anna

[@Vamo_Alla]

That’s right!! Lots don’t know that puerto plata is the mother of tourism in DR. Puerto plata once was the main destination for foreigners and still is. specially for those who knows puerto plata well. Before punta Cana, la romana, Bavaro, Samana and others puerto plata was puerto plata. I believe puerto is picking up again. As they call it in Spanish “PUERTO PLATA ES LA NOVIA DEL ATLÁNTICO “😎🙌”PUERTO PLATA IS THE GIRLFRIEND OF THE ATLANTIC”. 😊

[@rosacaraballo739]

@@DelightfulTravellersBefore Punta Cana Puerto plata was the #1 spot for turist back in the 80 and 90

[@nordic.van.adventures4928]

I agree!! 😍😍😍

[@topdogg3605]

Well put. I'm moving there

[@jijib7691]

Hey! So Puerto Plata translates literally to Silver Port, which is why the city sign was in silver and not in colors like other towns 😊 Also, to answer Anna's question, the classic cars are not at all typical of the DR or the area, it's a new "tour" I guess for when the cruiseships are in!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks Jiji! This is all so great to know. The cars are a great attraction that's for sure - Anna

[@valerioperalta927]

Wow I get to give you the first like 😂😂😂😂😂. i didn't know that Puerto plata city was that nice and clean.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

haha 🎉 I really don't think a lot of folks think to visit it honestly - Trevor

[@gissellnunez6115]

I prefer the north part of the country 100000 times more than anywhere else 💓

[@yeudi8927]

San Felipe de Puerto Plata, mi ciudad favorita de Republica Dominicana.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It's such a great city right? - Anna

[@lospablos4263]

Trevor's enthusiasm is very contagious. All of you guys are fun to watch as you enjoy the DR.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So appreciate that! 🤙 We both really luv the DR and still can't believe we get to call this place home. It's easy to be excited constantly 😃 - Trevor

[@pinkcarterinc.]

Did you all walk to the cable car at the bottom of the mountain or taxi over? Also, How far is it from the town area ?

[@patkahnke2298]

My wife and I are coming to the DR for the first time in a couple days. Staying in Las Terrenas. Your videos have been super helpful!

[@DCampusano1]

Las Terrenas is quite the spot, I’m sure you guys will enjoy it.

You'll luv it! LT is so much fun - Trevor

[@juanespinal2781]

Hi guys, it was very relaxing and nostalgic for me to see this video since I haven’t been to my country for the last 4 years do to health issues, thank you guys for this beautiful video, have a merry Christmas, enjoy.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We're glad our video brings back great memories for you 🤗 - Anna

[@yokid4405]

It is always delightful to see you guys 😂 love to see how you enjoy DR. Two things, first the sign with the name is silver only because PLATA means silver is spanish, second the Isabel de Torres Mountain is always with clouds all year around. Continúe enjoying DR is a pleasure to have you here 😊❤

[@yokid4405]

And something ese, that Christ was a gift from Brazil and both, Rio and Puerto Plata are facing each other.

[@RobertAndAbbie]

You guys hit up every place we were looking to visit in Puerto Plata for a day trip! Looking forward to it!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Haha no way! 😀 You’ll have a blast in the city - Trevor

[@humanityisdoomed1362]

I live in puerto plata,I glad you guys spent a great day exploring the city, about the luxurious antique cars, those are tours, you can pick em at the ports they drive you around the city and el malecon, about the colorless sign its couse puerto plata literaly means silver port, right there in front of the foretress of san felipe there is a amphitheater, they make pop, folclore, clasical music concerts there but also popular artist presentations, dance routines and people use it to go and do exercise, the little boats at el malecon are part of a old fishing labor union, they have special permit from the goberment them there. about the mountain you can also get in a excursion to walk it down in a hiking group with a guide there are a lot of rivers, springs they also sell alcohol in several places and there are old fashing households so you can see how dominican houses were back in the 1950-60, the trip is like 3 hours on foot but you can also rent a four weel.

[@Kikusin22]

The Dominican Republic is a beautiful paradise, I saw a photograph coffee table book on Amazon about this country full of beautiful photos and is gorgeous!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🤗

[@shelbyng8703]

Stop looking at pictures from coffee table books and come already to see it for yourself, you won't regret it!

Never been to puerta plata. Thanks for the video! Looks pretty and reminds me a lot of Santo Domingo. Thanks guys! Hope you’re enjoying LT ❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Hey Matty! Yes, it's a bit like SD but on a way smaller scale that's for sure. We just got back from LT... it rained all week 😆 - Trevor

[@drwade1]

you guys are great ambassadors for your home and native land

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🥰

[@drwade1]

id like to share the highlight for me it was trevor talking about the people and saying they are the nicest in the world. coming from a canuck you know that means a lot and that its ingenuous. the beaches and the forts you can see , its the dialogue about the intangibles that make these videos great. happy holidays. xw@@DelightfulTravellers

[@Gem25949]

The sign of the town name is in silver color because the name of the town: Puerto Plata (Silver Harbor)

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Noted! - Trevor

[@AndyCleveland]

It was a cloudy, rainy day when we went up the mountain to Christ the Redeemer two years ago too. We're really hoping to get better weather when we go back in January.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It was cloudy at the top for us as well. Not so much at the bottom though 😆- Trevor

[@AndyCleveland]

The same thing happened when I went to the top of Mount Tai in China. It was sunny and 90° (32°) at the base of the mountain but cloudy and about 60° (16°) at the top.

[@DominicanLionFanRep]

That's amazing guys! I've always liked the LA Vega and Puerto Plata growing up in STO Domingo. Glad you made this video! ❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Such great areas! We have more on those areas coming up 🤗 - Anna

[@katherinecuello9084]

Once they construct the highway that’s Gonna connect Puerto Plata to Santiago in 25 minutes, is gonna be a huge game changer

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Oh is that happening? Where's the highway going to be? There's a mountain in the way no? - Trevor

[@kathleenfisher3806]

I started watching your videos and others, like DR Property Guys right before we bought property and Sosua in 2021.❤. I am probably the weirdo, but I love the the mountain drive to and from Santiago. Just take you patience. I would love to see you guys do a trip through the mountain and stop and visit the Taino Gardens, maybe and an ecolodge along the way I know there are several ecolodge along the way, and one of the Amber Museums that are closer to Santiago end of the mountain road. I have not been there yet And I think another fun thing to do in Puerto Plata is to go to the Amber Museum downtown. I just ask everyone to tip their museum guide. I've been there several times, they do a great job. Also if you find yourself at Playa Sosua I always go to Chulo's and have the whole fried fish I think it's the best on the beach. And if you want to take a little adventure, I love to go to La Catarina, it's like halfway between Sosua and Puerto Plata on the adjacent road follow the signs... it's out of the way but well worth the while. But it is a little pricey but the atmosphere is what you're paying for. Amazing!!

[@allenderobles8639]

⁠@@DelightfulTravellersyes they gonna start 2024 Santiago - Puerto plata in 25 minutes with 3 or 4 tunnels don’t remember exactly. You guys can watch the videos the name of the Highway autopista del Ámbar

[@melisherwood5300]

I so look forward to your videos, DT. Just got back from where you had filmed at Coson Beach (spending the winter in LT. The beach is so quiet, I let my little off leash for a bit and she loved it. The cool river water flowing into the ocean is a delightful experience. Btw, when you were in LT, did the motorcyle traffic/noise annoy you? I have been living in centro and I am now moving - crazy.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Coson is so nice right!? The traffic in LT is it’s biggest problem in our opinion. We luv that place but it does get to be too much at times - Trevor

My family from my mother's side is from San Felipe, Puerto Plata. I remember enjoying a few summers with them. Really loved it! Thanks a lot for sharing your love for my home country with the world! Keep up the good work! 😍😍 P.S.: Creepy fact: In 1992 a flight from Cuba crashed on the side of the mountain. According with the investigation they were trying to take a look at the city before landing. 😓😓

Great video channel! What do you use for filming? Cellphone? GoPro? With a stick? I'm asking because its complete steadiness. Good job.

[@LittleMissCuki]

When you go around don't be shy to ask things cuz yes the city was like that because of the ships coming in normally they aren't all out and about and for the cars yes those are so fun also a tour you pay and they drive you around even take photos. Per person to get into the teleferico 550 pesos is so much it use to be 200 pesos per person! Atm it's closed so I can't verify the price July 2024 but I was here last year I live and have a home close to central park I'm Dominican Canadian and loved this video but be careful cuz plp might try to RISE PRICES just cuz ur gringos they try with me even though I am Dominican but have an accent because I didn't speak like they do so they spot me out fast lol n ask where I am I from 😅 n like to charge me more cuz they also see i don't know prices but this isn't everyplace or everyone they have actually changed a lot and I love that they now show menu the same for everyone and prices the same for everyone so nobody gets confused.

Porto Plata means silver harbor hence the silver cube city name. Marie

[@DelightfulTravellers]

😀

[@MiguelVargassagraVleugiM]

4:24 Puerto Plata literally means, " port of silver." That's why it's SILVER!

[@jbhyip]

The sign name is silver because "Plata" means silver.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Oh good to know... we've seen some other silver signs around so we just weren't sure if they were planned out that way - Trevor

[@Cassia7782]

Yes

[@jdrosariop]

I was just about to point that out 😊

[@ccnstv3157]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it. The reason the Puerto plata sign is colored silver and not colorful is because Puerto Plata translates to Silver Port. Plata is Silver

[@solojft]

I like that u have guests with u but if u watch ur video and watch their videos is all the same context so whom ever puts theirs out first gets my viewing. Something to consider two KZbinrs doing the same context is a bit much. tc great video I enjoyed it as I do all.

Plata means silver so it may be why the sign is not colourful like the others.
