Cotubanamá National Park, National park in La Altagracia Province, Dominican Republic
The protected area spans 791 square kilometers of dense subtropical forests, mangroves, beaches, caves, and includes Saona Island with its coral reefs.
The park received its current name in 2014 to honor Chief Cotubanamá, who led resistance against Spanish colonizers in the early 1500s.
The park contains twenty ceremonial plazas, eight indigenous cemeteries, and numerous caves that hold Taíno petroglyphs and artifacts from pre-colonial times.
Visitors enter through two main gates in Bayahibe, where they receive wristbands and can arrange boat tours to Saona Island or guided cave explorations.
The Sendero Padre Nuestro trail system leads to multiple caves with ancient pictographs and pure subterranean water sources valued by local communities.
