Puerta Plata Mountain

Our last day in the Dominican Republic was spent with friends touring the city of Puerta Plata.  This is the largest city in the district of Puerta Plata that includes Sosua and Cabarete also.  The population of Puerta Plata is about 120,000 people and Sosua is about 50,000 and Cabarete is about 15,000 people.
One of the attractions of Puerta Plata is a mountain that you can go to the top of via a cable car.

There are two cable cars that hold twenty people and go up every ten minutes.

At the top of the mountain are beautiful gardens and statue of Christ.

The gardens are a jungle type atmosphere and are full of beautiful flowers.

There were some very unique flowers.

 

From the top of the mountain you could see the entire city as well as miles of coast line.
