Monte Cristi National Park, National park in Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic
Monte Cristi National Park spans 550 square kilometers along the northwestern coast, encompassing coastal lagoons, beaches, and mangrove swamps near the Haiti border.
The national park received its protected status designation in 1983, establishing a conservation zone for the distinctive ecosystems of the Dominican Republic's northwestern region.
Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices in the park's waters, contributing to the preservation of regional maritime customs and knowledge.
Visitors need to arrange transportation and guides in advance as the park lacks marked trails and infrastructure for independent exploration.
The limestone mesa rises 237 meters above sea level, offering views of offshore keys while hosting the rare sabia montecristini plant species.
