Compact protected area of mangroves, scrub forest, ponds and trails just east of Santo Domingo — excellent for birdlife, intimate landscapes and textural close-ups. Best at dawn for active birds and soft light, or late afternoon for warm tones and reflections. Dry season (Nov–Apr) offers clearer skies; bring insect repellent and water. Access is roadside with limited parking; no special permit usually required. Weekdays are quieter.
