Los Haitises is also home to two endangered land mammals – the Hispaniolan Hutia and the Solenodon. Both are only found in the Dominican Republic.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Miches, Miches, El Seibo Province, Dominican Republic
Miches and its surrounding area is an awe-inspiring province in the eastern region of the Dominican Republic. Located less than an hour from Punta Cana, on a modern, scenic highway, Miches truly is Punta Cana’s Beautiful Backyard.
Where some may say Punta Cana lacks, Miches excels. Although Punta Cana is the Caribbean’s #1 visited destination, the land area is flat, giving visitors the sensation the Dominican Republic is a low-lying island. Not true! The Dominican Republic has the most diverse topography in the Caribbean with the highest point (Duarte’s Peak at +10,000 ft), the lowest point (Enriquillo Lake at -130 ft) and everything in between.
Stop At: Yanigua 25000, Dominican Republic
Besides the Classic Two-Cave tour, visitors can also explore the park in kayak or SUP. Whale watching excursions depart from Los Haitises when in season from January to March as well. Also, a more extensive tour of the park is available that includes the two caves but also heads deeper into Los Haitises to a remote beach and to the mouth of the Naranjo River
Duration: 45 minutes
