Los Haitises National Park is a national park located on the remote northeast coast of the Dominican Republic.
It is a protected virgin forest with little road access. The number of
tourists allowed is limited, but since 2000 it has been a relatively
popular destination for ecotourism. Haitis (singular) means highland or mountain range in the Taíno
language, although the elevation of the park's hills ranges from 30–40 m
(98–130 ft). There is a multitude of caverns created by water erosion.
Native Americans adorned these caverns with pictographs and petroglyphs. The culture or cultures which created these artworks remain unidentified, some of them possibly predating the Taínos.
