About Dominican Republic
The geography of the Dominican Republic is the most diverse in the Caribbean, ranging from desert plains to rainforest valleys to 10,000-foot high mountains to white sand beaches. Santo Domingo is the oldest city in the Americas. Its historic colonial quarter includes the Americas’ first cathedral, hospital, chapel, and university. However, the true charm and beauty of the Dominican Republic is reflected in its people.

Find Yourself in D.R.

“I am much more aware of myself and the world. I am also much more independent and I feel that after my experiences in the D.R., I could go wherever I wanted and do whatever I wanted, all by myself. I also came to understand a lot about the influences culture and society have on a person.” -U.S. to the Dominican Republic, Year

“Dominicans are very warm people and are very proud of their country. You will be amazed by how fast the year goes by, so take advantage of the time that you have.” -U.S. to the Dominican Republic, Year
