Dominican cuisine is a combination of Spanish, African and Taino culture. Here is the Capital of the Gastronomic Culture of the Caribbean.
The Morn-Trois-Python National Park attracts tourists due to the Boiling Lake shrouded in steam, the water of which is heated by volcanic gases, sulfur springs, Trafalgar Falls, overlooking from a height of 65 meters, and the narrow Tito Gorge.
