Laguna de Oviedo

A saltwater lagoon with pink flamingos inside Jaragua National Park — a secret most Dominicans don't know about.

  • Look for rhinoceros iguanas along the lagoon's shores
  • Learn about the 60+ bird species with the local guide
  • Bring binoculars to turn it into an exploration adventure

With family

  • Take the guided boat tour from the town of Oviedo
  • Keep a family list of the birds you identify
  • Photograph the pink flamingos and the rhinoceros iguanas
  • Combine it with a trip to Bahía de las Águilas to round out the day
