The first of them is Montaña Redonda, a place that has become famous in recent years for its panoramic view over the Caribbean, where snapshots on a swing that looks towards the horizon have made it one of the most photographed places in Dominican Republic.
Los Haitises National Park is our next destination on the map, an area where the sea, mangroves, jungles and even archaeological remains hidden in caves, reveal all the natural charm that the country offers. Its small hills full of vegetation are also the perfect place for bird watching that you will only find here.
Inside the park there is another magical place: the Rancho Yanigua waterfall. This spectacular waterfall is the perfect place to disconnect from the tourist crowds of Punta Cana, surrounded by a thick jungle that makes us think that we are more than 100 kilometers from the nearest town, although it really is not like that.
