casa museo general gregorio luperón

Some local friends of ours brought us here. We didn't think much but once you walk in it is very good. Pleasant surprise and very informative. Would suggest to any history buffs.

The museum is small but very pretty. The experience takes you back in time walking you through the life of general luperon and the Dominican society.

A real find. This museum tells the story of General Luperon through the artifacts of the day as well as through an interesting film (as others have said -- insist on seeing the movie first, otherwise the tour is does not make a lot of sense). The building is a replica of the house in which this Dominican hero died and it is beautifully presented. The guides are very friendly but their English is quite limited. I visited twice -- once with a Spanish speaking visitor and realized how much more informative that guided tour was then the English one. Even though the museum is new the signage and information on the exhibits are only in Spanish and the section with audio-clips was only in Spanish. Too bad they did not follow the lead of the Taino Museum (in Samana) or the national museum in Santo Domingo and have English language printed materials and/or audio materials. The Museum is conveniently located near the Central Park, the Amber Museum (interesting but a little too commercial), The Meeting Place (a volunteer information center where you can get free maps, info), and the Melacon (the beachfront boulevard) where there are lots of little huts and restaurants and which leads you on a short walk to the colonial fort at the end.Oh, yes, there is a truly nice cafe at the museum which is located in the courtyard. Ideal for a coffee and "treat". And there is an elevator.Unfortunately, the museum subscribes to "make the tourists pay" as non-Dominicans are charged twice what the local population is charged. This policy plus the lack of English and the fact that one has to insist to see the DVD (there are English subtitles though quite flawed) at the beginning of the tour means that I would not rate this a 5 star.

Luperon was one of the fathers of the Dominican Republic. It just opened in 2012 after a $2.5 million renovation. Everything first rate. Great exhibits, mostly in Spanish but guide had pretty good English. Ask to see the movie first. You will get more out of it.Nice cafe on site.

Sehr freundliches Personal, gutes Englisch und ebenso informativ.Man hat gemerkt das sich alle wirklich Mühe geben einem so viel wie möglich von Luperon und der Geschichte rüberzubringen. Nur zu empfehlen.

Mi familia y yo hicimos un recorrido por la bella ciudad de Puerto Plata y quedamos muy emocionados al ver que es una ciudad con muchos lugares para visitar y pasarla bien. Estuvimos en el Malecon, la Fortaleza San Felipe, el Teleferico, los sietes charcos de Damajagua,Tambien visitamos una playa muy hermosa en el Poblado de Luperon ubicada donde esta el hoy abandono complejo hotelero de este poblado , muy lindo el cual deberia el Ministerio de Turismo tratar de recuperarlo,ya que la zona es muy visitada por los turista.La puesta de sol mas hermosa que e visto en toda mi vida la disfrute en la playa de el Castillo por la misma zona de Luperon. Mas luego seguire escribiendo sobre este recorrido.

Es bueno, solo que deberia abrir un poco antes y aprovecharlo como ruta historico turistico de Puerto Plata.

Sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Museum über das Leben von General Luperón. Ein gemütliches und günstiges Cafe im schattigen Innenhof rundet den Besuch ab

Es excelente como ham logrado esta experiencia de interpretacion en la casa de la hija del General Luperon. Los guias son muy profesionales y el precio insignificante para toda la experiencia.No tengas miedo de pedir el tour largo (no el resumido), las anecdotas son interesantes.

me gusto el orden de todas las piezas historica del museo.Te transportan en todos los hechos acontecido en la epoca por tar motivo yo lo recomiendo a todos los que vengan a visitar a puerto plata...................No te lo puede perder ven.

Muy interesante y el Restaurante tiene unos platos divinos, es un lugar a visitar para el que visite Puerto Plata.

a mi me gusto todo, las fotos y todo lo artesanal y antiguo que hay alla. y los recuerdo que les trae a ese pueblo.......
