Take a cable car up to Pico Isabel de Torres

Because it's a 2625ft (800m) climb to the summit of Pico Isabel de Torres, you'll be glad to have a teleférico (cable car) to assist you. The flat-topped peak provides unimpeded views over the Dominican Republic's northern area. Just make sure you get there early because clouds tend to build around the peak as the day progresses. Take a cable car to Pico Isabel de Torres, the highest point in the city. Enjoy the magnificent panoramas and the seven-minute journey up the 793 m (2,600 foot) mountain.

Explore the flat mountain top, which is ornamented with a gigantic replica of Christ the Redeemer monument, and take in the panoramic view of the city, the ocean, and the surrounding area. On the mountaintop, there is also a tiny botanical garden. Consider making the journey early in the morning, as clouds frequently form in the afternoon. A adjacent botanical garden encourages a leisurely afternoon stroll after taking in the views. Don't forget to see the massive Christ the Redeemer statue before you leave.
