Set sail from Sabana de la Mar on a full-day adventure through the stunning Los Haitises National Park. Begin your journey at the entrance of the Caño Hondo hotel, then make your way to the marina to board a boat that carries you through winding waterways framed by red mangroves. Glide across San Lorenzo Bay, drift past rocky mogotes, and watch for local birds such as pelicans and kingbirds. Next, visit the Arena and Línea caves to see ancient petroglyphs and wall paintings crafted centuries ago by indigenous communities. Marvel at images of both humans and animals in charcoal tones.
