Monte Cristi, located approximately 135 km west of Puerto Plata, sits among desert-like surroundings on the northwestern tip of the Dominican Republic. Founded in 1506, the town was an important trading port until the 19th century - exporting sugar, mahogany and other crops to Europe. Tourist can enjoy Cayo Cabrita and El Morro beaches, as well as very good diving. From El Morro , you can swim 300 meters out to Isla Cabrita , an island housing a lighthouse. Divers enjoy investigating the several shipwrecks, which include colonial-era galleons. Many come to the area to visit the National Park, Parque Nacional Monte Cristi , consisting of subtropical dry forest, lagoons and a 900 foot high Mesa. The Mesa overlooks the spectacularly clear sea below and several small islands located just off shore, known as Los Siete Hermanos (The Seven Brothers), where large sea turtles lay their eggs.
