15 Toward the border with Haiti you'll find Lago Enriquillo ( Click here ), a lake 40m
below sea level and a remnant of the strait that once bisected the island from Barahona to
Port-au-Prince. Several hundred crocodiles call the lake home, and everywhere you'll see
rocks of fossilized coral. In the middle of the lake is Isla Cabritos, a national park where
seemingly menacing Ricord and rhinoceros iguanas beefier than Buicks roam freely and
cacti thrive. Swarms of butterflies color the landscape every June.
