Start with two days exploring Santo Domingo, the Zona Colonial and essential Do- minican experiences of baseball and dancing to merengue. On day three head to Jara- bacoa. Visit the waterfalls in the afternoon, with white-water rafting or canyoning the next day. Head north to Cabarete, which has world-class water sports and mountain biking. Spend several days diving and beach-bumming in nearby Sosúa and Río San Juan, then bolt for whale-watching from Península de Samaná. If it’s the off-season take a boat trip to Parque Nacional Los Haitises to see mangroves, cave paintings or the waterfall near El Limón. Spend two days hiking or boating to the beaches around Las Galeras, or for more nightlife, base yourself in Las Terrenas. The southeast is perfect for some more relaxing beach time – go for either deserted Playa Limón or per- ennially popular Bávaro and Punta Cana. Return to Santo Domingo. To the southwest is a spectacular drive to Barahona, and crocodiles in Lago Enriquillo. Spend a night or two before returning to Santo Domingo. 33 Península Las Terrenas de Samaná East Coast •# •# Península de Samaná #– É •# É Las Galeras Aeropuerto El Limón Internacional É El Catey B A H Í A D E S A M A N Á f# AT L A N T I C PLAN YOUR TRIP É O C E A N ÷# É •# Parque Playa Nacional Limón Los Haitises É Bávaro •# É É IT I NERAR SANTO •# Punta É Cana DOMINGO É #_ É I ES •# Bayahibe C A R I B B E A N S E A Peninsula de 1 East Coast 5 WEEK DAYS Samaná An east-coast sampler efficiently combines From beaches to whale-watching to water- the colonial charm of the Americas’ oldest fall hikes, this itinerary is all about water. city with total beach relaxation.

  • The Dominican Republic
    INTRODUCTION: The Dominican Republic (D.R), part of the Hispaniola island alongside the nation of Haiti, is the second largest island of the Greater Antilles; it’s total area, including adjacent islands, is 48,670 km ². The coastline extends some 1,668 km. and has an exclusive economic zone covering 238,000 km ². The littoral zone is defined as a public asset, and includes a strip of 60 meters from high tide. In the D.R. there is a close relationship between the socio-economic aspect and the coastal marine area. Historically, coastal areas have been the primary focus of urban development and tourism. These areas are the most populous and economically productive of the country; 70% of Dominican cities with over 10,000 inhabitants, and 75% of industries are located in coastal marine areas. Out of the 31 provinces, including the National District, 17 have coasts. Since the mid-60's D.R. has focused the economic and social development towards the use of their coasts for the development of the tourism industry, which is the most important economic activity of the country. Clearly, the future of D.R depends on the conservation and rational management of natural resources in these areas. The Dominican coasts are characterized by the high biodiversity that is offered by the different coastal marine ecosystems. These diverse ecosystems generate goods, and services that upkeep the socio-economic activities of the respective coastal communities, and therefore it is essential that they are carefully managed. The National System of Protected Areas (SINAP) is governed by the Protected Areas Sector Act of 2004 (law 202-04).
