Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve (Parque Ojos Indigenas)

The Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve, formerly known as the Punta Cana Ecological Reserve, is a protected area in the Dominican Republic dedicated to preserving the natural habitats of local flora and fauna. The park is named for its 12 freshwater lagoons, which the indigenous Taino people referred to as ‘eyes’ due to their distinctive shape. Visitors can explore these serene lagoons, surrounded by lush vegetation, and gain insight into the region’s ecological significance. Today, the reserve offers a tranquil setting for nature walks and a chance to observe the diverse wildlife that calls this place home.
