From the heights of Pico Duarte to the depths of Lago Enriquillo, the island of Hispaniola—of which the Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds—nurtures a wide variety of habitats such as cloud forests, mangrove swamps, pine woodlands, and thorn forests, that are home to a whopping 35 endemics. Among these are Palmchat, Hispaniolan Trogon, Bay-breasted Cuckoo, Broad- and Narrow-billed todies, and Eastern and Western chat-tanagers. Join the ABA and EcoTour Barahona to discover the Dominican Republic’s exceptional avifauna, from unique endemics to migratory marvels.
