Puerto plata
The National Park Los Haitises is located on the remote northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. It consists of a limestone karst plateau with conical hills, sinkholes and caverns, and there is a large area of mangrove forest on the coast. The park contains a number of different habitats and consequently has a great diversity of mammals and birds, including some rare species endemic to the island. Some of the caverns contain pictograms and petroglyphs. We also visit Cayo Levantado, here you can relax on the white sandy beach and take a bath in the crystal clear water. We offer a lunch buffet on the island
