  • 2022 Complete overview of Puerto Plata and all beaches in town. This is a very incredible place in the north part of the Dominican Republic. You'll see all beaches from Centro Historico to Playa Dorada. In the coming videos I will be exploring Sosua, Cabarete, Samana, Las Terrenas and more. Previously I had been in Punta Cana, Santo Domingo and Catalina Island.
    Christopher Columbus came to this part of the world in 1492 to discover Dominican republic that he then called Hispaniola. The Taino people were the indigenous people, but the Europeans enslaved them and also killed them. The indigenous people also died from diseases that the Europeans had brought. The Spanish started building up towns and centro historico is an example of early buildings found here. I will also film the town of Sosua and Cabarete soon.

    Many comments saying Christopher Columbus was Italian. He was born in Italy but spent the majority of his life in Spain, and all crew members on his ship were Spanish, so that's why I think he established a Spanish colony and not Italian.

    • @alepigna84

      Besides Italy didn’t exist at that time. Spanish kingdom was the main sponsor of his endeavor, in which many of the people didn’t believe he could ever succeed

      I'm no expert. But I think it was because the Spanish monarchy paid for his travels. They were promised land, goods and gold in return.

    Loved your video, Im dominican and I live in puerto plata, minimum wage here is around 10 to 12 K pesos (180 to 210 USD), the place you ate is one of many places that are specificaly made to cater to tourist and there for are expensive, specialy europeans since euro coin has a bigger exchange rate than any other curensy, but yeah american and canadians too. for example you paid almost 13 usd for a burger and fries, but in any other place that locals visit they are around 150 pesos (around 2.5 UDS), also if you are looking for specific business policemen are trained to help tourist find anything you may need, we have a specific section of the police for tourist or any non dominican visitors called POLITOUR, they are very polite and well trained and the goberment usually send 1 or 2 to many corners in the streets to check you are secured, give directions and deal with any disturbs that may come, the goberment is very focused in making puerto plata a good experience for any visitors and puerto pata people we are usualy very welcoming.

      There are small restaurants ALL OVER the Puerto Plata downtown area, but not a lot in the part he was staying. Within a 10 minute walk there are dozens.
      Also, there are several supermarkets in POP, including the very large La Sirena (like a WalMart) which he showed in the background of his video while he was walking down the Malecon. That one is a 5-10 minute walk from his hotel.
      For a quick bite to eat, there are little Colmados ALL OVER THE PLACE there that have convience foods. A colmado is like a tiny convenience store. I think William just picked a couple of the wrong streets to walk in his search for food.

    This was a very low key, calm video. Very nice. This is really you in your element. One of the reasons this works so well is we generally trust calm people. So many UA-camrs are putting some shocked expression in their thumbnail and it looks so fake when you see it done so often. Basically its crass. This video was calm and classy. Everything you said seemed 100% believable. So rare these days. Thank you for standing out from the crowd. Its was great that you looked at the prices and the minimum wage. This gives the viewer a stark reminder of how hard it must be to live in some of these places for the locals serving foreigners. Talking to poor workers about how they get the things they need is often a great way of saving money in these countries. Like buying your food in an air conditioned place can cost twice as much as a place without air conditioning, like a large, open air market.

    Hello, I see that you are very adventurous. Although climbing a coconut tree is somewhat risky, especially being alone. I grew up in the Dominican Republic. I used to climb almost all the fruit trees except the coconut palms. In the Dominican Republic, many people cannot afford to eat out. On the shores of the street there are many cheap fruit stalls, just ask about the price ( CUANTO CUESTA )beforehand and if you avoid paying tourist prices

    Thanks for another great video! Sometimes the local restaurants offer local residents a discounted price not posted on the menu. Tourists pay the posted price on the menu. That can help with some of the cost of living for locals.

    Great video, fun and informative...! Please be careful and even if for an athletic guy like you climbing a palm tree is "easy" do not take the risk of doing it when you are alone in the middle of nowhere...

    Good stuff, I was wondering, aside from playa dorada, which other beaches you visited would complete your top 3? Do you know or heard if there are any other nice beaches on the west side of the town?
