Calle Las Damas
10 min
Las Damas Street was the first street in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, and in the Americas. Located in the Colonial City, it owes its name to the fact that, in the early days of the colony, ladies used to stroll along this street, which is now decorated with colonial tiles. This street features attractions such as Fortaleza Ozama, La Real Audiencia, the house of Don Rodrigo de Bastidas (now the “Trampolín” children’s museum), colonial houses (some with colonial coats of arms), and, at the end, Plaza España.

During our visit to Santo Domingo, we’ll stop at Los Tres Ojos National Park, where we’ll take a 45-minute tour and visit the three Taíno caves and the fourth lake. Los Tres Ojos National Park played an important role in the life, culture, and way of life of the Taínos. It is important to note that these caves played a significant role in the life, culture, and religion of the Taino people.
