Ridgway’s Hawk Tour – Bird watching Los Haitises National Park Excursion

Overview

The Ridgway’s Hawk is a critically endangered species of diurnal raptor endemic to the Island of Hispaniola. A hundred years ago the hawk was found all over Hispaniola, but today the only remaining breeding population of about 300 individuals is found in Los Haitises National Park in the Dominican Republic.

Los Haitises National Park is a popular destination for nature lovers and bird watchers cause of the highest importance for biodiversity and richness of fauna, both in terms of endemism and species numbers. Our main focus is to spot all the hawks around the Cano Hondo areas.

If you're looking for an authentic and immersive experience, look no further than this tour. It's not just about ticking off the must-see attractions; it's about connecting with the culture, meeting the people, and understanding the soul of the region. Our guide was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, and she went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience. We learned about traditional crafts, sampled local delicacies, and even tried our hand at a few phrases in the local language. It was a truly transformative experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

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.
