José Armando Bermúdez National Park, National park in Elías Piña Province, Dominican Republic
José Armando Bermúdez National Park is a large protected area in the Dominican mountains with forests, rivers, and varying elevations. The terrain spans rugged ground with dense vegetation and different ecological zones.
The park was established in the 1950s to protect the Dominican Republic's natural resources and mountain forests. This early decision marked an important step in the country's conservation efforts.
The park is home to plant species found nowhere else, including mountain pines that visitors encounter on trails. These species shape how the landscape looks and what people come here to see.
Visitors should know that access is available via the main highway and local guides are available in nearby towns. It helps to learn about mountain weather conditions before your visit.
The park includes sections of the Caribbean's highest mountain peak, which rises nearly 3200 meters (10,500 feet). Few visitors realize they are walking near one of the region's most important geographic landmarks.
