With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense.

Among your first few stops here ought to be Santo Domingo Beach, Maderas Volcano and Cascada San Ramón. Located 60 miles away, Granada is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, don’t miss Granada Cathedral, Mi Museo Granada Collection and Chapel of Maria Auxiliadora.
