The Dominican Republic protects many of its most important landscapes through an extensive system of national parks and protected areas. Managed by the country’s environmental authorities, these parks preserve tropical forests, coastal wetlands, coral reefs, and rugged mountain ranges across the island of Hispaniola. Among the most notable is Los Haitises National Park, known for its mangrove forests, limestone karst formations, and caves decorated with ancient Taíno pictographs. In the central highlands, Armando Bermúdez National Park protects the slopes of Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Caribbean. Together, the Dominican Republic’s national parks safeguard the country’s diverse ecosystems while providing opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring its rich natural and cultural heritage.
