Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean country that shares the

island of Hispaniola with Haiti to the west. It is known for its
beaches, resorts, and golf areas. Its terrain includes tropical forests,
savannah and highlands, including Pico Duarte, the highest mountain
in the Caribbean
The island was discovered by Christopher
Columbus on December 5, 1492. Once the
colony was established, a series of firsts took
place on Hispaniola, the name with which
Columbus baptized the island.
On February 27 of each year, the
independence of the Dominican
Republic is celebrated.

Tradition.
Dances: Dominicans love to dance salsa,
merengue and bachata: traditional Caribbean
rhythms are super popular in the Dominican
Republic and dancing is one of its liveliest
customs.

What many Dominicans look forward to when they sit

down at the midday table is to be served a plate with
plenty of white rice, red beans, and stewed chicken or
beef.
