Description
The Laguna Cristal is a source of fresh water at the gates of Los Haitises National Park, north of the province of Monte Plata.
The lagoon is fed by the underground water which comes from the neighboring park, from the pond leaves a small navigable river for a few hundred meters which feeds the Barracote river, which then flows into the bay of San Lorenzo. It would be around 200 meters deep and 70 meters in diameter.
The Laguna Cristal is lost in the middle of the vegetation, it is a little known and little visited tourist attraction. It is an area protected by the Ministry of the Environment. The inhabitants of the surroundings (700 inhabitants) live from agricultural production, breeding and fishing, it is a rural area for lovers of nature and ecotourism. Local residents claim to have seen the lagoon monster. Myth or reality.

The Crystal Lagoon is a beautiful and very pleasant place where you can share a whole day with your family, the residents are very hospitable and pleasant, it is advisable to be careful when bathing because the lagoon is very deep, and it is convenient to use floats, vests or other means of security. I invite you to enjoy it, with respect for the environment and safety for life.
