The Southwest & Península de Pedernales
Landscapes
Millennia-old tectonic movements have given the peninsula its unique features: unspoiled
sanctuaries, characterized by the beautiful beach along the Bahía de las Águilas and cactus-
covered deserts.
Wildlife
An emerging ecotourism destination, this is the best place on the island to go birdwatching:
nearly all of the island's endemics are found here. That's to say nothing of the crocodiles,
lizards, turtles and marine life.
Tranquility
Get away from the coastal crowds, where any stranger is sure to turn heads. And yet des-
pite this thinly populated region's remoteness, there are still a few luxurious retreats.
