It is almost impossible to find last minute deals this month, because the rest at this time here is simply magnificent. January is considered the coldest month, but if you look at everything through the eyes of Europeans, then there is no smell of cold here. In the Dominican Republic at this time there is wonderful weather - during the day about + 27-28 degrees, and at night the temperature drops by only a few degrees. In the interior regions, where mountain ranges are located, the climate is peculiar. And I must say that this is a colorful country of contrasts. Here, even in this heat, snow lies on the tops of the mountains above 3 thousand meters above sea level.
Country beaches
There are many beaches here, and many have been awarded Blue Flags, which speaks of the ecological purity of these places. Windsurfing enthusiasts usually stay in Cabarete, Sosua or Puerta Plata. It is here that the waves from the Atlantic are most suitable for this. Therefore, here you can often take part in competitions in this sport or just watch the daredevils on the crest of the waves.
It is from the middle of January that humpback whales gather near the Samana Peninsula, which, having overcome enormous distances, begin their mating games here. Many tourists come here on these days to enjoy a truly unique and unrepeatable sight.
Where to go, what to visit
In the capital of the Dominican Republic, it is worth visiting the Faro-o-Colon lighthouse, where the discoverer of these lands, Columbus, is buried.
On about. Saona can be seen a medieval city. It was recreated especially for tourists. Many artists and artisans work here.
Literally a few days after the New Year, on January 5, you can watch an unforgettable procession, in which … magicians, wizards and other magicians take part, the action takes place in Santa Domingo - this is the holiday of the Magi.
There are many holidays in the Dominican Republic in January. Among them, I would especially like to note the festivities that are dedicated to the Day of St. Altagracia, who is the heavenly patroness of the republic. On January 12, services in her honor begin in Higueye.
There are a great many hotels here, so you can easily book a room. Come on vacation to the Dominican Republic in January and enjoy the summer weather and warm sea!
