Dominican Republic Itinerary Planner

The planner starts by grouping places that sit close together, so you are not crossing the country for one waterfall and then crossing back for lunch. Next it picks one sensible direction through those groups, which means a smooth line across the map instead of a plate of spaghetti. Then it decides how long each stop deserves. A beach or a single landmark gets a short visit, while a city or town with several attractions nearby becomes a base where you sleep more than one night, and the smaller spots around it turn into day trips. Take Jarabacoa: if your interests include hikes and national parks, it makes sense to unpack there once and fan out to the surrounding spots, rather than hauling your bag to a new bed every night. That is the logic behind every route you build. Pick a relaxed pace and you get fewer bases and longer stays. Pick a fast one and the stops get tighter. Either way, you spend your days at the places and not in the car.
