Los Haitises + Montaña Redonda

Enjoy a great Ecological Adventure in the Dominican Republic through the Coastal Plains of the East-Northeast region.

Leaving from your hotels in modern and comfortable buses, along the Coral Highway, crossing through Miches, Sabana de La Mar until reaching Caño Hondo.

Los Haitises, the Haitises karst formation has an extension of 82 km, from Sabana de la Mar to Cevicos, for 26 km, south of Samaná Bay to Bayaguana. It is one of the 4 most important Karst Parks in the World, with a Rich Fauna and an exuberant Flora, with endemic species of the Area.

We begin the tour by boat, through Caño Hondo, a stream that crosses the largest Mangrove in the Caribbean. You can see several species of Mangroves, an abundant variety of Crustaceans and Birds.

On this tour we will arrive at Laguna San Lorenzo, which is surrounded by a lush mangrove forest and is a very important reserve for the reproduction of fish, crustaceans and birds. We continue until we reach the rocky part, where we visit two (2) caves, which have petroglyphs and carvings on the walls, which are the traces left by the Tainos who lived there.

These caves are inhabited by bats and other species of nocturnal birds.

We will also visit several Mogotes or Atolls scattered along the coast surrounding the Park, which are inhabited by dozens of species of birds. After this ecological tour, we go to the Hotel Paraíso Caño Hondo, for lunch.

This is an ecological hotel, nestled at the foot of the mountain, it has the privilege of watering its pools with pure and crystalline water from a river that is born in the heart of the Park, and where we also enjoy a refreshing bath.

After lunch and enjoying the natural surroundings, we take the bus and head to Montaña Redonda, which we will climb to its summit in a Safari Truck.

This has a special location, being in the middle of two large lagoons (Laguna Limón and Laguna Redonda), with a spectacular view, appreciating both the Bay of Samaná, the Peninsula, a large part of the Eastern Mountain Range, as well as the Atlantic Ocean. Once we leave the Mountain, we will go to the Casa Campesina, and see how the peasants live in their humble houses, to see the fruits and food they produce.

Visit Cocoa and Coffee plants, and the extraction process of the best organic Chocolate and Coffee in the world.
