Discover the "Deep South" as the Dominicans call it. The southwest of the Dominican Republic is geographically disconnected from the main tourist destinations in the country and this is what makes it so special. The landscapes in the middle of nature and the largest biodiversity reserve in the country give this region the privilege of being one of the preferred places for ecotourism because it can be found both dry forest and tropical rainforest. This is a tourist circuit for those who want to be away from civilization and see the Dominican Republic totally from another point of view.
Lake Enriquillo and its crocodiles
Today we will pick you up very early. If the hotel cannot provide breakfast on time, we will eat on the way. The reason is that we must be at the lake as soon as possible to increase the chances of seeing crocodiles in their natural habitat before it gets too hot and they disappear into the deep water. On the way to the lake, you will pass many typical Dominican villages, as well as a statue of the Taino chief Enriquillo, from whom the lake gets its name. Lake Enriquillo is one of the most enchanting areas of the country and is almost 40 meters below sea level. The area is hot and dry, although springs and small rivers make it fertile in some places. Some ancient Taino settlements have been discovered in the desert environment around the embedded salt lake. The boat trip on the lake first takes you to a section of shore from where the chances of seeing the living crocodiles are particularly good. The national park is a paradise for American black-billed crocodiles and rhinoceros iguanas. On the way back we will pass through Neiba, a place appreciated by the Spanish during the struggle for independence. This community bases its economy on agriculture and is the area with the highest grape production in the country. Here you will visit "Las Marías", the spa most visited by the locals in the area, where you will have the opportunity to eat something (costs not included) and refresh yourself in its crystal clear waters. Then we will take you back to the hotel.
