Description:
Punta Cana is not a city or a town or a mega-hotel. It is a destination made up of the world’s first private international airport, a community of elegant beachfront homes, and a first-class resort featuring a new P.B. Dye-designed golf course and beachfront clubhouse, marina, tennis center, ecological nature preserve, and much more.
From the almost 3 million tourists that visit the Dominican Republic annually, 42% come to Punta Cana. Punta Cana is actually 45 Kilometres of land at the eastern side of the island, from South to North consisting of Cap Cana, Cabeza de Toro, El Cortecito, Bavaro, El Macao and Uvero Alto. Dotted with shopping malls and all facilities that a tourist can dream off or having nightmares about. There are, however, beautiful things to see underwater. The Center for Biodiversity is located here, a place where students come to study the tropical marine and land environment (participating universities are: Cornell, Columbia, Miami).
