In the
North Coast of Dominican Republic lies the nine divisions of the island which
are all stunningly beautiful. One of these regions is Luperon. The region of
Luperon is situated in a large bay. It is located 50 kilometers away from the
western part of Puerto Plata. Aside from Puerto Plata, the neighboring areas of
Luperon includes Confresi and Monte Cristi. Luperon is more of a port-town
rather than a tourist destination. More or less, it has now twenty thousand
inhabitants. Most of them get their daily income from the fishing industry of
Luperon.

passing by coming from Monte Cristi going to Puerto Plata. It was thought years
ago that Luperon was just a laid-back town. A town that does not have a
potential, like the other parts of the island of Dominican Republic, in the
booming industry of tourism. But fortunately, several brilliant minds of
architects and land developers have thought of improving not only the area but
the lives of the locals of Luperon as well. With the emerging tourism industry,
hotels were built and employees were needed. Although some still stick with the
old way of living, new breed of Luperon inhabitants are now employed in the
luxurious hotels, resorts and alike. Thus, making tourism industry a big
influence in the growing economy of Luperon.

is commonly seen in turquoise blue color, white sand beaches with very fine
texture and of course, the mangrove forests.

Luperon is a "late-bloomer" in the industry of tourism, many places in this
region are now popular as a tourist destination for those who wanted to have an
