Pico Duarte, Mountain summit in San Juan Province and Santiago Province, Dominican Republic
Pico Duarte reaches 3101 meters in elevation, standing as the highest peak in both the Dominican Republic and the entire Caribbean region.
Swedish botanist Erik Leonard Ekman confirmed the initial height measurements made by Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk during his first recorded ascent in 1851.
The peak displays a bronze bust of Juan Pablo Duarte, next to a Dominican flag and a cross, honoring one of the nation's founding fathers.
The ascent typically requires two to three days of hiking, with most climbers starting from La Ciénaga and camping at intermediate points along the trail.
The mountain's location creates a remarkable elevation contrast, situated just 85 kilometers from Lake Enriquillo, which lies 46 meters below sea level.
