Secrets of Los Haitises National Park: Caves, Birds & Jurassic Scenery
After a safety briefing, depart from the pier onboard a comfortable catamaran for a truly unique ecological experience. Los Haitises National Park is a protected virgin forest accessible by water and is an area covering over 600 square miles. It represents a growing destination for ecotourism and the park was once used as the filming location for the feature film “Jurassic Park.”
The number of visitors allowed is limited and is for those who want a unique experience. Haiti means highland or mountain range in the Taino Indian language, although the elevation of the park's hills ranges from 30–40 m (98–130 ft). There is a multitude of caverns, adorned with pictographs and petroglyphs. You will circle the small cay known as "Bird Island" while your expert guide explains the importance of the many migratory and indigenous birds that inhabit the mangroves and island. After cruising around Bird Island, your captain will dock the boat at one of the fascinating caves. You will discover stalagmites and stalactites, as well as view ancient paintings and sculptures that represent the gods of the Taino Indians, native to this island.
