Information about the Dominican Republic:

Population: Approximately 11,000,000

Area: 48,730 square kilometers

Climate:

The Dominican Republic has a tropical monsoon climate. There is no need to be alarmed as the rainier season mainly occurs during the summer when hurricanes can occur. The temperature remains consistently between 20-30 °C throughout the year. 

The amount of precipitation varies across different regions. More rainfall is observed in the northern and southern parts, while the coastal areas, particularly around Punta Cana, generally receive less rainfall.

Hydrography:

The country has four major rivers through which abundant rainfall drains from the mountains. The longest among them is the Yaque del Norte. The Yuna River flows into Samana Bay, while the Yarde del Sur flows into the Caribbean Sea in the south. The longest river on the Hispaniola island, named Haiti River, runs through the Haitian region and is called Artibonito in the Dominican Republic.

The largest saltwater lake is Lake Enriquillo, with its surface level located 40 meters below sea level. It is the deepest point in the Caribbean region. Along the coast, several lagoons have formed, including both freshwater and brackishwater lagoons.

National Parks: 

The list of national parks in the Dominican Republic is quite extensive, and unfortunately, most of them are located deep within the mountains, several hours away from the tourist zones. However, there are a few parks that are easily accessible and definitely worth visiting:
