From the highest mountain peak in the Caribbean to desert dunes, to tropical rainforest, to white sandy beaches, to the ocean floor, the geography of the Dominican Republic is a fascinating diversity of incredible beauty. To preserve and maintain the ecology and ecosystems of these areas the Dominican government over the years has established national parks, scientific reserves, national marine parks, and other protected areas on the island, all of which are under the control of the National Parks Office (Direccion Nacional de Parques) located in the capital city of Santo Domingo.
