Los Haitises–which translates into “hilly land” in the Taino language–attracts numerous visitors who come here by boat to see its magnificent series of 30-meter (98-foot) high rock formations jutting out of the water. The park also boasts extensive mangroves along its bay, which is dotted with cays that are home to multiple bird colonies, as well as a series of caves known for having one of the highest numbers of petroglyphs and pictographs in the country.[/vc_column_text][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1610637870431{margin-top: 40px !important;}”][mkdf_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”two-columns” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=”right”][mkdf_elements_holder_item horizontal_alignment=”right”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]

Los Haitises also nurtures one of the DR’s few remaining rainforests, once used as a filming location for the feature film Jurassic Park. Explore the park by boat from Sabana de la mar or Samana, hike its rainforest to view flora up close, or kayak along its lush mangrove system where most of the time you will see Dolphins and Manatees.[/vc_column_text][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][mkdf_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”two-columns” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=”right”][mkdf_elements_holder_item horizontal_alignment=”center” item_padding_680_768=”0 70px 0 0″ item_padding_680=”0 70px 0 0″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][mkdf_button size=”small” text=”Read More” target=”_self” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text_transform=”” link=”https://www.parquenacionalloshaitises.com/about-los-haitises-national-park/”][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1610646214154{margin-top: 100px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”sandy_brown” el_width=”30″ css=”.vc_custom_1610623355458{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][mkdf_section_title position=”center” title_tag=”” disable_break_words=”no” subtitle_tag=”” title=”Importance of Mangroves” subtitle=”Nature Conservation”][vc_column_text]

Mangroves are magical forests where we discover nature’s secrets. They straddle the connection between land and sea and nature and humans. Mangrove forests nurture our estuaries and fuel our nature-based economies.
In the Los Haitises National Park, close to Sabana de la Mar, there are 98 km2 of mangrove forests.

There are several open spots in the Los Haitises national park and these spots needs to be reforested again. Mangroves are very important to the ecosystem. They help stabilize coastline ecosystem and prevent erosion and absorbing storm surge impacts during extreme weather events such as hurricanes which are coming every year. Mangrove forests also provides habitat and refuge to a wide array of wildlife such as birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals and plants.
