Pedernales Transportation

Welcome to Pedernales, the hidden gem nestled in the southwest corner of the Dominican Republic, bordering Haiti. This remote province boasts a desert-like landscape that calls out to all explorers, offering natural beauty and unique ecological wonders. As you journey through Pedernales, you’ll encounter a landscape with towering giant cacti and occasional glimpses of shimmering turquoise shores. 

While many visitors flock to Pedernales to experience the pristine beauty of Bahía de Las Águilas, the crown jewel of Dominican beaches, those who choose to stay overnight will uncover a province brimming with unique geographical features and protected natural sites. Explore parks, lagoons, and lakes teeming with endangered reptiles, birds, and wild flora. Delve into ancient Taino caverns adorned with freshwater sinkholes and mysterious rock art.

Discover the wonders of Jaragua National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve home to diverse flora and fauna, including flamingos at Laguna de Oviedo and nesting turtles on its pristine beaches. Explore the marine life off the islands of Beata and Alto Velo, where sharks glide through the crystal-clear waters. Venture inland to swim in river-fed pools nestled amid lush forests or ascend to the cool mountains at 1,300 meters (4,265 feet) above sea level to witness rare Caribbean phenomena such as the geological depression at Hoyo de Pelempito.

While Pedernales’ attractions are often included in tours of the nearby Barahona province, you can escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the province’s wild surroundings by choosing to overnight near the country’s most pristine beach. Las Américas International Airport (SDQ), located approximately four and a half hours west, serves as the closest airport to this nature lover’s paradise. Book your airport transfers and rides with Prestige Limousine Service.
