Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is located in the eastern part of the island of Haiti. Its area is 48 730 km². The coast is 1,600 km long, of which 300 km are white sandy beaches. Santo Domingo, which is the capital of the Dominican Republic, is also the second largest city in the Caribbean.
The history of the Dominican Republic is linked to the island of Hispaniola, which was inhabited by Tainmi-friendly Indians. In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on the island.
The Tains assumed they were supernatural people, so they were very trusting and friendly, providing the Spaniards with everything they asked for. Those from the island made their colony, almost exterminated the original population and gradually replaced it with black slaves. In 1697 the western part of the island fell to France and in 1795 the eastern part. In 1808, the Spanish-speaking Creoles expelled the French from their part of the island; in 1821, the Haitians in the uprising against the Spaniards managed to take control of the territory of the Dominican Republic, but in 1844 independence was declared.
The surface of the landscape is rugged, made up of highlands, fertile valleys and tropical forests. The Central Cordilleras are the island’s highest mountains, stretching from Haiti to the south, alongside the capital.
The southeastern part of the republic is covered with lowlands, which are characterized by the occurrence of cactus and sparse population.
The climate is tropical with the characteristics of coastal areas. Average temperatures are 23 ° C in the morning and 32 ° C around lunch. Temperatures rarely fall below 16 °C during the year. Hurricanes can occur in the Dominican Republic between June and November, with August and September peaking. The rainy season peaks from May to July and from October to November.
The Dominican Republic is primarily focused on agriculture, industry and a large part of its income dependent on tourism.
When visiting the Dominican Republic within 30 days you need a tourist card, which can be purchased directly at the airport, a visa is required for longer non-tourist stays.
