The South of the Dominican Republic

Southern Dominican Republic is the poorest and least known area of the country, but it boasts a wide range of natural riches that make the region have a lot of potential for ecologically friendly tourism.


One of the region's hidden gems is Bahía de las Águilas (Eagles Bay), a place of unique beauty. There are other gorgeous beaches, such as Barahona, center of a burgeoning touristic development, and an exotic lake situated under the sea level, Lake Enriquillo, where iguanas, pink flamingos and an endemic species of crocodile have their home.
