Samana: Lintujen tarkkailu ja Limonin vesiputous

Quisqueya “Dominican Republic & Haiti” is an island with a highly diverse avifauna of more than 300 species. In addition to 32 endemic bird species, the country hosts an impressive assemblage of permanent resident species, overwintering migrants, and other transient species that stop to rest and refuel in route to more southerly wintering or northern breeding areas. The island of Hispaniola’s high level of endemism and its contribution to global biodiversity have earned it the highest ranking of biological importance in a worldwide assessment of bird protection priorities.  During this experience, we will get to oversee the Samana area.

Samana Área  

The town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná, better known simply as Samaná, is the hub of activity in the beautiful Samaná Peninsula.  The Samaná Peninsula is full of palm-shaded white sand beaches and offers a combination of busy tourist towns and “off the beaten path” isolated beaches.  But Samana also has places like El Valle, El limón and many more with a beautiful forest where we can see different species of birds that includes petrels and shearwaters, Brown Booby, Brown Pelican, Snowy Egrets, Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, Reddish Egret and Osprey, Palmchat, Hispaniolan Woodpecker, Hispaniolan Parakeet, Hispaniolan Lizard-Cuckoo, Black-crowned Palm-Tanager, Hispaniolan Mango and many more.

El Limonin vesiputous 

El Limón waterfall is a National Park that takes you on an adventure of about 4 kilometers hiking down lush hilly terrain while spotting flora and fauna along the way. Native plants grow abundantly here in the wild, like the royal palm tree, and pineapples. Birds are also ubiquitous, like the palmchat–the DR’s national bird–the Hispaniolan woodpecker, and the Broad-billed tody. 

Once at the falls, marvel at the beauty of El Limón’s tumbling cascade–dropping 40 meters (130 feet) from the top of Sierra de Samaná. Cool off from the journey in the freshwater emerald pool beneath the falls, and take in the surrounding wild, jungle landscape and gushing sounds of El Limón.
