Ojos Indigena- Punta Cana
My husband and I recently went to one of Punta Cana Resort's gems...
The photos do not do justice to this beautiful place...

"La Reserva y Parque Ecológico Ojos Indígenas esta compuesta por 1,500 acres de bosque preservado que es de propiedad y manejado por la Fundación Ecológica PUNTACANA. La reserva es parte de un bosque subtropical decorado con once lagunas de agua dulce. La visita al bosque tropical se desarrolla a través de túneles verdes con más de 500 especies de plantas y culmina con chapuzón refrescante en una de las once lagunas. Los historiadores han descubierto que los Indios Tainos, habitantes pre-colombinos de la isla, se referían a las lagunas como “ojos” por la forma que los distingue.

La reserva esta abierta todos los días desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer para los visitantes del PUNTACANA Resort & Club y miembros de la comunidad de
PUNTACANA."

RE: Ojos Indigena- Punta Cana
Two weeks ago I took my son that's 4 years old to the park. It was beautiful! It was pure nature at it's best. I felt that something was missing though that I've seen in other parks, Garbage and beer bottles.
What a pleasure it was to see the forest as the indians did.

The water in the natural springs is crystal clear and teaming with fish and turtles. After seeing this very well done example of what nature preservation can be, I certainly am happy to hear that Mr. Frank Raineri will be in charge of the Los Haitises National Park.
