The Dominican Republic is not just the Caribbean paradise of white sand beaches and
turquoise seas, there is much more to its rich history, brilliant culture, natural wonders
and charming residents. This is the place where the first Spanish settlement in America
took place thanks to the arrival of Christopher Columbus during his first voyage in
1492. Aside from choosing the Dominican Republic as his only home in the region, a
land blessed with fertile soil and gold deposits, Columbus and the Spanish crown used
the country as a launching pad for their conquests around the Caribbean and the United
States.
