Why go
This route suits visitors ready to cross the city for a day that moves from galleries to outdoor scenery. Museo de Arte Moderno gives an indoor start and a look at Dominican visual culture. Set aside a longer stretch for Jardín Botánico Nacional, where walking is part of the visit. Los Tres Ojos then changes the setting to caves and clear lakes on the eastern side of the Ozama. The stops are spread across Santo Domingo, so arrange road transport and leave room for traffic between them. Check each site’s current visitor access before setting off; rain can change the pace of the outdoor sections.
