The road slides out from the coast and into a scrubby ribbon of palms and colonial roofs as your driver eases the air-conditioned vehicle through Puerto Plata’s bay. Salt air pulls at the windows, the cable car on Isabel de Torres cuts a silhouette against the mountain, and in thirty minutes you're moved—comfortably and efficiently—between landmark points in two of the Dominican Republic’s most storied cities.
