Baoruco Province, Province in southwestern Dominican Republic
Baoruco Province encompasses 1,282 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including the Sierra de Neiba mountains and sections of Lake Enriquillo in the Enriquillo Region.
The province separated from Barahona Province in 1943, establishing Neiba as its capital city and later underwent territorial changes when Independencia Province split in 1952.
Five municipalities maintain agricultural traditions through the cultivation of plantains in Tamayo, grapes in Neiba, and coffee production in Sierra de Neiba mountains.
Residents and visitors can reach the province through national highways connecting to major Dominican cities, with local transportation services operating between municipalities.
Lake Enriquillo within the province contains high salinity waters at 31 meters below sea level, making it the lowest elevation point in the Caribbean.
