Description
Take a small group trip to Los Haitises national park staring from Punta Cana. Boat ride at the mangroves in Cano Hondo river. By foot, traverse the unique landscape of Los Haitises with its limestone karst plateau, conical hills, sinkholes, and caverns.
Explore the islets and mangrove forests of San Lorenzo Bay and see low-flying birds in Cayo de los Pájaros, between the Boca del Infierno and El Naranjo Arriba. Stop at many mogotes and atolls scattered throughout the coast that surrounds the park, and identify dozens of native birds along the way.
Learn about cupey trees and the birds that fill their horizontal branches, as well as wild banyan trees and tropical almond trees. Spot native crustaceans, fish, and birds that thrive on the impeccable river water and lush plant life.
Continue to rockier terrain where you’ll visit two caverns decorated with petroglyphs and wall carvings – the traces left by the Tainos who lived there long ago. Watch out for bats and other nocturnal birds who call these caves home.
After this visiting local Cuisine restaurant for lunch and travel to Esmeralda beach for Free time. Esmeralda bay is one of the last Birgin Beaches in the Dominican Republic. Take time to explore!

It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Jonathan, was awesome, and the entire tour was amazing: the mangroves with all the birds, the caves with the petroglyphs and pictographs, the Emerald Beach with its crystal-clear water, and the Round Mountain with its spectacular views. I recommend leaving by 7 a.m. to fully enjoy the visit and avoid crowds at the caves.
