Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park & Reserve

The Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park & Reserve consists of 1,500 acres of land donated by Grupo Puntacana to the Fundación Grupo Puntacana as a private nature reserve for educational, scientific and recreational purposes. The Ecological Reserve is categorized as a transitional subtropical forest because it contains a mix of flora and fauna from both humid and dry habitats. The reserve has more than 500 species of plants, 36% of which are endemic to the Dominican Republic.
The Reserve was named the Indigenous Eyes since the land was originally inhabited by the Taino Indians, the first inhabitants of the island. Within the reserve are 12 freshwater lagoons formed by Yauya, an underground river that breaks the surface due to the geological features of the region. Each of the lagoons have been named using Taino words.
