Hello, guys!
Today I want to show you photos from different places on peninsula Samana (Dominican Republic). This is one of the most remarkable, mysterious and delightful places in Dominican Republic. Santa Barbara de Samana - the oldest regional center founded in 1756 for protection of piracy invasions.

Near of Samana there is a National Park Los Haitises which involves set of tourists with the tropical beauty. The ecosystem with too many wild islands, flying pelicans and virgin nature makes this place unforgettable.

This park is famous for it`s mysterious indian caves, with a lot of petroglyphic pictures. You can see different bat species in each cave.
Also you can take a cayak to ride between mangroves, or take a swim in a blue water.

It is possible to visit and remarkable Caribbean treasure - small island under name Cayo Levantado - present paradise for the tourists adoring diving and snorkeling.
