CARIBBEAN SKYWAYS LEG 3

Leg 3 — MYGF → MDSD

Freeport → Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)

Santo Domingo is the oldest European-established city in the Americas.

The First Colony

Approaching Santo Domingo, you arrive at the birthplace of European colonization in the New World. Founded in 1496, it became the center of Spanish power in the Caribbean.

Here, the story of conquest begins—indigenous populations devastated, and African slavery introduced. The Caribbean’s identity begins to take shape, forged in hardship and cultural fusion.
