Description

Set off from your hotel for a full-day discovery of Lake Enriquillo, the largest lake in the Dominican Republic, known for its extraordinary wildlife and dramatic landscapes. After being collected from your accommodation in Barahona, Paraíso, or Los Patos, drive through scenic terrain until you reach the shores of this salty inland lake. The area’s arid climate is home to fascinating creatures like crocodiles and the rare rhinoceros iguana, which you may spot while gliding gently across the water in a boat. Your guide will fill you in on the history of this unique region, including details about ancient Taíno settlements that once thrived along these shores. Next, enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pools near Neyba, where you can cool off in crystalline water, surrounded by nature. A locally prepared lunch is included, offering you tastes of the region. The drive back will bring you to your hotel in the late afternoon, with plenty of time to reflect on the day’s exploration and photos of incredible wildlife and landscapes.
