Punta Cana is one of the prominent cities in Dominican Republic. The culture of the place is markedly dominant and can be seen in the spontaneous smile, joie de vivre and carefree attitude of people. The destination is still away from the adversities of industrialized cities and enjoys the bounties of nature. As soon as my father told me that next destination for our vacations is going to be Punta Cana, I jumped with joy and elation. He started looking for various airlines offering flights to Punta Cana. He decided to book airline ticket as early as possible to gain cheap tickets to Punta Cana.
Besides its various natural attractions, the destination is also known for its unique Dominican culture. The culture is quite open and the people are known for their hospitality. The whole environment is so simple and laid-back that people are never stressed even in adverse situations. It seems that this attitude is because of the culture of the place. My father told me a lot about the place as he had already been to the city earlier. The joy of people can be witnessed in the celebrations, events, festivals, dance and music. People simply enjoy their life with gay abandon. Unique cuisines, myriad cooking styles, cigars, coffee, beer and rum make the place all the more popular among visitors coming from other countries. All this information about the city piqued my curiosity and I decided to enhance my knowledge by finding out more about the city. I came to know that in last few years, the destination has gained lot of popularity as a tourist destination and this is the reason, many cheap flights to Punta Cana are readily available. Airlines like Air France, Air Canada and many more ply their services to this destination.
The culture of this destination is unique and this is as a result of an amalgamation of the influences of various other countries and regions like African, Taino and Spanish. During the Hispaniola colonial rule, a process of cross culturalization took place. This paved way for the emergence of a new Creole culture with an eclectic mix of Black African Population, Spanish population and Indigenous population. In the culture of the place, one can find glimpses of all these three bringing out a unique culture of its own. Whether it is the language, music, dance, religious beliefs, traditions, entertainment, cuisines, etc, one can see the remnants of African culture. The beats of the music and dance are very African in nature and people going there really enjoy the foot tapping Congo beats. Similar is the case with cuisines where one can readily find African flavors. Impact of Spain is visible in its language and religion. The architecture of the place also speaks volumes about Spanish culture.
All these inputs from various regions have given uniqueness to the place and people are more excited to see the destination. After knowing all about the city, my curiosity knew no bounds and I asked my father about the status of the plane tickets so I could enjoy the destination as early as possible.
