Explore Cabo Rojo and Pedernales
Cabo Rojo sits at the southwestern tip of the Dominican Republic, in Pedernales province — not to be confused with Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Its red cliffs frame some of the clearest water in the Caribbean.
A short boat ride from Las Cuevas leads to Bahía de las Águilas, an untouched beach inside Jaragua National Park, part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Inland, Laguna de Oviedo shelters flamingos and iguanas, and the road into Sierra de Bahoruco climbs to the pine-forest viewpoint of Hoyo de Pelempito.
Cabo Rojo & Pedernales
Bahía de las Águilas
About 8 km of untouched white sand and turquoise water inside Jaragua National Park — no hotels, no vendors. Here's how to get there and when to go.
Cabo Rojo
Cabo Rojo, in Pedernales province, is the gateway to Bahía de las Águilas and Jaragua National Park — and the Dominican Republic's newest tourism destination. Not to be confused with Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
Pedernales
A relaxed fishing and farming town on the Haitian border, and the base for exploring Cabo Rojo, Bahía de las Águilas and Jaragua.
Nature & wildlife
Laguna de Oviedo
A large hypersaline lagoon inside Jaragua National Park, home to flamingos, spoonbills, herons and wild iguanas on its mangrove cays.
Jaragua National Park
Dry forest, cacti, caves, reefs, Bahía de las Águilas, Laguna de Oviedo and Beata Island — all inside one park on the southwest coast.
Hoyo de Pelempito
A huge depression in Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, seen from a lookout above 1,000 m. Pine forest, cool air and endemic birds, about 1.5 hours from Cabo Rojo.
