Templo de las Américas — Visit Hours

Colonial brick-and-stone church in a garden at La Isabela (Luperón) — built over the site of the 16th-century first Catholic church in the New World. Walk the nave among Marian imagery and feel the Atlantic breeze; pair with Parque Nacional Histórico La Isabela nearby. Typically open ~9:00 AM–5:00 PM; confirm hours and gate fee (~RD$120 for the historic area) before you drive west from Puerto Plata.

Worth the Luperón / La Isabela drive if you want first-settlement history with a quiet garden church — not a same-block Centro walk like Fortaleza or the Amber Museum.

• Price feel — Budget-friendly
• ~RD$120 historic-area gate fee reported — confirm hours/fee on site; GoDR lists the temple visit
