Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata are the only two towns in the Dominican Republic, which inhabits an Amber Museum.

Puerto Plata’s amber museum at the North Coast of the Dominican Republic offers not just one, but two good reasons to pay attention:
First the outstanding architectural example of this historical Victorian mansion and
second the fascinating amber. In all colours, like the common known crystal brown, the light yellow and the dark blue.

Back in the last century German brothers Bentz invested in sugar cane and made a fortune in Puerto Plata. In 1919 they built Villa Bentz, immortalizing their family name with an opulent home erected two short blocks from the central square. With its wide terraces and lush gardens, Villa Bentz was an icon of success during that rich period in Puerto Plata.
