We were able to experience Puerto Plata, but there wasn’t much time to fully enjoy. Also, the cable car wasn’t running which would have been the highlight of the day. They drove us up the mountain instead.

It was a great day in Puerto Plata with Anthony. Maybe it should not have been sold as a cable car ride since the cable car has been inoperable for around two years, but the drive up the mountain was actually quite enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time! Our guide Winston was knowledgeable and helpful! Even with the top of the mountain in a cloud - we still enjoyed our ride down and had beautiful views of the city.
