About this experience
The Park
Los Haitises is home to miles of untouched mangrove forests, secluded beaches, ancient caves and island outcroppings that dot the San Lorenzo bay. The adundance of red mangroves, that stretch for miles, create a natural incubator for young sea life, protecting them from larger predators in the open water. And the park itself is bursting with all kinds of life with numerous species of birds, reptiles, amphibians and crustaceans. 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 and highlights
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.
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
