DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BURSTING AT THE SEAMS WITH EXOTIC WILDLIFE For nature lovers and adventurers, the Parque Nacional Los Haitises has an exotic array of animals and plants. As a protected virgin rain forest, it’s a beautifully unspoiled slice of a world far from the towns and cities we’re used to. Among the wildlife, endangered animals live in their natural habitat. If you’re lucky, you might even find the ashy-faced owl.
NEVER A DULL DAY IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC There’s much more to the Republic than beaches. Visit the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, then hike around the rainforests and cool off in the canyon’s natural pool. For a slice of civilisation, visit Santa Domingo and wander through the streets of the oldest city in the New World. On a day off from exploring, you can enjoy a round of golf or voyage through the deep blue at one of the signature diving spots.
