Galería de Ambar Puerto Plata

Despite its unfortunate location, housed in a rundown office-like building, there are informative exhibits on the history of amber mining in the DR as well as on rum, sugar, tobacco and coffee. Multilingual guides are on hand to answer any questions. Of course, the main aim of the tour is the soft-sell pitch to buy the gallery’s proprietary cigar brand, as well as jewelry and other gifts in the ground-floor shop.
