Punta Cana is so popular that its international airport handles more passengers than Santo Domingo's air terminal. This tourist enclave at the eastern end of the island of Hispaniola has paradisiacal beaches of crystal-clear waters and white sand, such as Bávaro, Arena Gorda, Cabo Engaño, Cabeza de Toro and Punta Cana, all with excellent hotels and beachfront resorts. Leaving the hotel and beach zone, you can visit Los Haitises National Park, Saona Island and Santo Domingo, which is 193 km away.
