La Isabela

La Isabela, on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, marks the historic site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, established by Christopher Columbus in 1493. Rich in archaeological significance, it invites visitors to explore colonial-era ruins, a museum, and panoramic coastal views. As both a cultural and natural heritage site, La Isabela offers a blend of education, reflection, and eco-tourism potential in a quiet, undeveloped setting.
