Home to the fascinating Lake Enriquillo, American crocodiles, and a border experience.
Get ready for an excursion that will challenge your senses! 🌟 A spectacular arid landscape that hides the largest reserve of American crocodiles in the Caribbean.
The Independencia province, with its head municipality of Jimaní [1], takes you to the extreme southwest of the Dominican Republic. This corner of the country is the proud guardian of Lake Enriquillo, an astonishing geographical anomaly of hypersaline waters situated below sea level. Seeing the robust endemic iguanas and crocodiles up close in their natural habitat will make you feel like you are in a wildlife documentary.
💡 The Go Visit Tip: The climate in the lake area is one of the hottest on the entire island, reaching severe peaks. Do not underestimate the sun! Wear UV protection clothing, dark glasses, wide hats, and carry gallons of drinking water. Try to arrive at the lake first thing in the morning.
