Showcasing a unique collection of valuable Dominican amber, Museo Del Ámbar is one of the interesting places to visit in Puerto Plata. Many experts have claimed that the amber displayed at this museum is the most transparent in the world. Touring the museum, you will be able to see this semiprecious resin, which is nothing but tree sap that has hardened over millions of years, capturing numerous fossils of insects and plants. The museum building in itself makes for a sight to behold, showcasing the Victorian style of architecture.
