About Los
Haitises National Park:
Los Haitises National Park, located southeast of the
Great Bay of the Peninsula of Samana, is 208 square kilometers of hillocks,
divided by narrow gullies, which create the impression of numerous tiny
islands or keys forming a landscape full of bays & marshy country with
mangroves, hills & islands on the border between land and sea

Haitises' Fauna:
The richness
of the National Park Los Haitises’ fauna is reflected among the mammals
including the manatee (Trichechus manatus) found in the large areas of
mangrove swamps. These mangroves are populated by protected native species
of flora and fauna, such as Hutias (giant rats), turtles, wild pigs. Bats,
tortoises, and the shy Manatee reside in the caves and mangrove systems
The park is
also home to the solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus) a small insectivore mammal
(above) endemic from the island in the forest. Due to its remoteness,
rugged topography and seasonally heavy rainfall the park is accessible only
by boat
Los Haitises
park provides a home refuge and nesting sites for 112 species of birds
including Brown Pelican, Magnificent Frigate Bird, Roseate Tern, Ridgeway's
Hawk (this is one of the last known nesting places in the world of this
species), Narrow-billed Tody, Least Grebe, Night Heron, , Great White Egret,
parrots & turtledoves.

small area. The Haitises’ vegetation includes a latifolias humid tropical
forest transforming into a semideciduous tropical forest in the keys and
mogotes by the coast.

Haitises' Caves & Caverns
:The Dominican Republic has the most extensive cave system in the Caribbean many of which contain over 1000 year old artwork. Los Haitises' extensive cave-system with pictographs and petroglyphs is said to have been created by the indigenous people of the island--the Tainos. The Taino Indians dwelt in these limestone caves and left many cave drawings and carvings on the walls, which can be easily seen when touring Los Haitises.

Fossils & pre-Columbian remains have also been found in the caverns there.
