About your trip

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.

About your organizer

The ABA exists to build a better world by sharing the positive values and irresistible excitement of birding. We are a connector for all birders where they will feel part of a community, interact with fellow birders, and make fulfilling relationships with each other and nature. We provide resources to our members and the birding community at large on our website, through our print publications, our podcast, in-person events, festivals, and tours, partnerships, and ABA Community network. Wherever you find birders, you’ll find ABA.
