"A beautiful island paradise with high forested mountains and large river valleys" – those were the words of Christopher Columbus uttered about what is know known as Punta Cana.

     The name he christened the Dominican Republic with in 1492, Hispaniola, did not last, but the beauty of the island and in particular Punta Cana has. A destination famed for gold-panning, Punta Cana is crossed with gold-filled rivers, lined with spacious sugar plantations and world-class golf courses.
