The most beautiful natural sites to discover San Fernando De Montecristi - Montecristi

Located beyond the coral reef, the group of seven islets, huddled together like seven brothers (hence their name), served as a refuge for numerous privateers and pirates. You can camp here by requesting permission from the harbour master's office. Sea turtles come here to lay their eggs between November and February. The beaches are numerous, rather narrow and of black sand. The most spectacular is Morro beach, which looks more like Etretat than the traditional tropical beach.

The lagoon consists of a series of canals forming labyrinths between mangroves. They contain many species of birds. We can get there by renting the services of a fisherman.

This rocky promontory was christened by the great admiral who found him a form of slug slug. Recently declared national park, the Morro is the subject of a reforestation operation. After taking a stony trail, you have to take a trail that leads to the top within thirty minutes walking. From the summit, the show is grandiose. Around the Morro are planted ten white crosses symbolizing the Ten Commandments. Provide a antimoustiques bomb.

Montecristi is the island's first saltworks area, even before Bani and Azua. The rectangular basins that extend out of the town towards the sea are particularly beautiful in the evening, at dusk, when they take on a beautiful pink colour under the last rays of the setting sun. In the early morning, the show is also pretty. Good to know: almost all the salt consumed in the country is produced by evaporation of sea water.
