It&#8217;s known for its beaches, resorts and golfing. Its terrain comprises rainforest, savannah and highlands, including Pico Duarte, the Caribbean\u2019s tallest mountain.<\/p><p>Dominican Republic includes the highest and lowest elevations in the West Indies. Its major mountain ranges and elongated, fertile valleys mainly extend from northwest to southeast. Dominican Republic has much in common with the countries of Latin America, and some writers have referred to the country as a microcosm of that region. It has a moderate relatively mild tropical climate although it lies well within the tropical zone. Conditions are ameliorated\u00a0in many areas by elevation and by the northeast trade winds, which blow steadily from the Atlantic all year long.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-46b18cf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"46b18cf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c78cb34\" data-id=\"c78cb34\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-844a100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"844a100\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Blog Posts<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e078e9 elementor-grid-3 elementor-grid-tablet-2 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-posts--thumbnail-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-posts\" data-id=\"9e078e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;classic_columns&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;classic_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;classic_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;classic_row_gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:35,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;classic_row_gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;classic_row_gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"posts.classic\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-posts-container elementor-posts elementor-posts--skin-classic elementor-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-8572 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-destination category-latin-america-caribbean category-dominican-republic\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail__link\" href=\"https:\/\/exploringed.com\/dominican-republic-music-sea-history\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-DSC_9702-Musicians-at-Parque-Colon-300x199.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-8646\" alt=\"Musicians at Parque Colon, Santo Domingo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-DSC_9702-Musicians-at-Parque-Colon-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exploringed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-DSC_9702-Musicians-at-Parque-Colon-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/exploringed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-DSC_9702-Musicians-at-Parque-Colon-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exploringed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-DSC_9702-Musicians-at-Parque-Colon-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exploringed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-DSC_9702-Musicians-at-Parque-Colon.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/exploringed.com\/dominican-republic-music-sea-history\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tDominican Republic \u2013 Music, Sea &#038; History\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__meta-data\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-date\">\n\t\t\tMarch 29, 2021\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-avatar\">\n\t\t\tNo Comments\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__excerpt\">\n\t\t\t<p>I live in New York City in a neighborhood where many Dominicans live and have businesses.
