Creator's Key Takeaways

we are in Dominican Republic yes Porta Plata is our stop and we had a wonderful time walking around visiting 10 different locations in a little more than 5 hours

the tour itself is actually free and they were very informative there's there a a short little video that shows the seven steps in the chocolate making process

it was $2 a person so that was $4 total and at this point it's I think around noon time or 1:00 p.m.

the Fort was $2 per person so that was $4 spent it overlooks the cruise port so you get a really nice view
