Check out the Rhinoceros Iguanas, an endangered species, in the habitat created for them at the Parque Ibero-Americano in Santo Domingo. The large lizards are fun to watch from the bridge that crosses their abode or from the gated surroundings.
The Ibero-American Park is the city’s latest renovated public space. It surrounds the National Music Conservatory and is located between Cesar Nicolas Penson, Bolivar and Alma Mater avenues. The park is perfect for biking, rollerblading, jogging, romantic strolls, or just sitting.
Once the city’s zoo, the park is built atop an impressive cave system, including the Santa Ana Caves.
Aerobics classes are regularly held in the gym area near the Bolivar entrance, where there are outdoor exercise machines and a cafeteria.
But the main attraction of the park is its 1.4kms of walkways shaded by lovely trees.
