Monte Cristi

Monte Cristi, on the Dominican Republic’s northwest frontier, is a rugged natural gem with dramatic coastal cliffs, arid forests, and the iconic El Morro mesa rising over the sea. Known for its biodiversity, kayaking trails, salt flats, and historic charm, Monte Cristi is an ideal destination for eco-travelers and explorers seeking raw beauty and solitude. It also hosts a national park, marine reserves, and rare flora and fauna, making it one of the country’s most ecologically rich yet under-visited regions.
