Located in the heart of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is a natural gateway to the Americas, situated between the Panama Canal and Central and South America, approximately 1,000 km from the coast of Florida. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, it shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. With its beautiful sandy beaches and numerous resorts, it is a highly sought-after destination for a linguistic stay.
Tourism is indeed one of the main resources of the island, which has allowed it to develop considerably over the past fifteen years, unlike its neighboring country. Beyond the traditional beach resorts, you will encounter a population steeped in many ancestral traditions, and during your linguistic stay, you will discover magnificent historical buildings from the colonial era and a rich and well-preserved natural environment. Despite the influx of tourism, a large part of the island remains untouched. You will have the opportunity to go hiking in the mountains, through lush jungles, or even in a semi-arid desert.
