Specializing in Cheap Flights to Punta Cana

Located in the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic and in the province of La Altagracia, Punta Cana is an extremely popular Caribbean destination.  Home to 1,100 acres of white-sand beaches, Punta Cana's history is similar to that of the entire island.  Long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus, Punta Cana and much of the island was inhabited by the indigenous Taino Indians.  Recent evidence shows early settlers even came from South America, dating back to 230 BC.  Taino's were initially friendly towards the Spanish, and later reacted violently toward the intolerance and abuse of their invaders.  The region was governed by the Cayacoa cacique, which fought the Spanish and died in one of the first battles between the Tainos and the Spanish.  Discovered accidentally in 1969 when an American man, living in Puerto Rico, flew over the breathtaking sight of white sand beaches on this coastal town.  After the discovery, foreign investors arrived to turn Punta Cana into a tourist development.  Surrounded by hundreds of coconut palms and overlooking a beautiful coral reef, its investors took on the concept of "ecoresort", so as not to deteriorate the natural ecosystem.  The Melia chain of hotels won the prize of the Ibero-American University of Santo Domingo as the first ecological hotel of the Caribe in 1999.  One of the fastest-growing areas for tourism, Punta Cana is a favorite destination for children and adults alike.
