Nationalpark Lago Enriqillo e Isla Cabritos

Nationalpark Lago Enriqillo e Isla Cabritos, Caribbean national park with saltwater lake in Dominican Republic.

Lago Enriquillo e Isla Cabritos National Park covers 406.54 km² in the provinces of Baoruco and Independencia, including the salt lake and the 26 km² island of Cabritos. The lake lies 36 m below sea level between the Sierra de Neiba and Sierra de Bahoruco, with dry, thorny tropical forest on the island.

The national park was established in 1974, covering 406.54 km² of Lago Enriquillo and Isla Cabritos in the southwest near the Haitian border. The lake lies 36 m below sea level in the provinces of Baoruco and Independencia. Its water holds about 70 g of salt per kilogram, twice the salinity of seawater.

The park serves as a place where visitors learn about wetlands and salt habitats through guided activities and observation. People come here to develop awareness of how wildlife adapts to harsh environments and why such places matter.

The site is extremely dry and hot, so visitors should bring plenty of water and sun protection. Most activities happen in early morning or late afternoon hours to avoid the intense heat of midday.

The lake's salinity reaches 70 g/kg, twice that of seawater, and the park holds the largest population of American crocodiles in the Antilles. Rhinoceros iguanas and Hispaniola iguanas also live on and around Isla Cabritos, which covers 26 km².
