The Haitises Eco-Tour
The visit to Los Haitises National Park is fascinating. It is an unforgettable tour where we will contemplate like few others in the world. It is a paradisiacal place that transports us to the time of the dinosaurs, by the way, in Los Haitises important scenes from the movie Jurassic Park were filmed.
Los Haitises is one of the main ecological attractions of the Dominican Republic. The Haitises constitute a karst or relief in rocks, tropical limestone in hummocks, characteristic of these climatic zones of the earth. In its external morphology it presents hills, corridors and valleys, and in its internal morphology cavities, some of great dimensions such as those of the coastline.
It is a dense coastal humid forest in the southern part of the Samaná Bay, it is an immense reserve full of caves, Taino pictographs, humid forests, and hundreds of species of birds, many of them endemic.
The characteristic that distinguishes this mystical place from the other parks on the island are its mogotes or hillocks, which reach 40 meters in height, and cover the entire surface of the park. This phenomenon occurs because of the karst geography of the region.
The karst area of Los Haitises is composed of hills (mogotes) close to each other with valleys (bottoms) between them. The mogotes of the interior and the keys of the Bay of Samaná have the same origin, differing only in that the bottoms between the keys are occupied by sea water and that they are less elevated than the mogotes.
