 | GO Dominican Republic
This is an absolutely AWESOME website by the official Dominican Republic office of tourism. The best resource I have seen to describe this incredible country. |
ARTS, CULTURE, AND SPORTS
The spirit and charm of the Dominican Republic is captured in its music, food, and national pastimes. Known for its professional winter baseball, handcrafted cigars, and annual music festivals, the culture of the Dominican Republic is never stodgy, or boring. It's always an artful and colorful expression of life.
Even the museums and archeological sites are vibrant, bringing the daring history of the Dominican Republic alive with antique treasures, dazzling jewels, and the cavernous time capsules left to us by a long lost culture. In the Dominican Republic, culture really means adventure. |

DRESS:
I would lean to the conservative side in all choices. Shorts are acceptable and short sleeves are acceptable, remember that in the barrio the potential to get something dirty is very real and you will most likely be hot and sweating a good part of the time. If you are on a work team it is absolutely essential that you bring atleast two changes of clothes per day. They will get dirty or soaked in sweat. Simply the reality of the tropics.
Don't worry though if you forget something. Santo Domingo is a huge city and you can go shopping and get pretty much anything you want if you need it.
Make sure you are comfortable in the heat and protect yourself from the suns UV waves which are quite a bit more potent closer to the Equator. Make sure you bring sunblock and a hat to assist in this protection.
