Overview

Birding:4 Days of Bird Watching Dominican Republic

Quisqueya “Dominican Republic & Haiti” is an island with a highly diverse avifauna of more than 300 species. In addition to 32 endemic bird species, the country hosts an impressive assemblage of permanent resident species, overwintering migrants, and other transient species that stop to rest and refuel enroute to more southerly wintering or northern breeding areas. The island of Hispaniola’s high level of endemism and its contribution to global biodiversity have earned it the highest ranking of biological importance in a worldwide assessment of bird protection priorities. The most important places for birding are Los Haitises National Park, Cotubanama National Park, Bahoruco National Park and Santo Domingo area. During this experience you will get to oversee most of the country crossing from east to south and south to north, we are spending 3 full days searching for birds of the Dominican Republic.

Santo Domingo Area For Birding

The capital city of Santo Domingo is a good place to start your birding trip with a visit to the National Botanical Gardens (Jardin Botanico Nacional Moscoso Puello), which provides many of the lowland endemics and some aquatic specialties, including the West Indian Whistling Duck, endangered and very elusive anywhere else.

An hour and a half west of Santo Domingo, Salinas de Bani, with its salt flats, mangroves, sand dunes, and thorn scrub, is a great place for waders and shorebirds, as well as for winter migrants, making it a favorite haunt of local birders. It is a good day trip from Santo Domingo.

This tour was a breath of fresh air! It wasn't your typical cookie-cutter tourist experience; it was an authentic and immersive journey into the heart of the region. Our guide was a local expert who shared his personal stories and insights, giving us a unique perspective that we wouldn't have gotten on our own. We explored hidden alleyways, sampled local delicacies, and met with artisans who are preserving traditional crafts. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I left feeling deeply connected to the people and the culture.

What struck me most about this tour was the guide's genuine connection to the land. He shared stories passed down through generations, painting a vivid picture of the region's history and its people. It wasn't just about reciting facts from a textbook; it was about sharing a deeply personal and heartfelt narrative. We visited a family-run vineyard where we learned about traditional winemaking techniques and tasted some exceptional wines. It was an experience that transcended the typical tourist trail, leaving me with a profound sense of appreciation for the region's rich cultural heritage.
