Visiting Mount Isabel de Torres near Puerto Plata on the north coast of the Dominican Republic is one of the most popular tourist activities when you need a break from the beaches. Tours are available from Puerto Plata, or you can take a taxi to the cable-car station and hire a guide on site. The scenic cable car ride will whisk you to the top of the mountain to enjoy the best views out over the city and the coastline. Other attractions at the peak include the National Botanical Gardens and an enormous statue of Christ. If you enjoy haggling for a bargain you will find many vendors selling jewelry and other souvenirs at the base of the statue.
