La Loma del Yaque Ecological Park

Discover La Loma del Yaque Ecological Park, a hidden natural gem in Los Hidalgos where you can breathe fresh mountain air and hike trails winding through native vegetation. Tucked away in the QWPP+8CH area of the Municipal District, this protected spot is perfect for hiking, birdwatching, and family picnics. Scenic overlooks serve up sweeping panoramic views of the Yaque Valley, blending countryside tranquility with the rich biodiversity of the DR. It's a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

It started as a grassroots initiative in Los Hidalgos to protect the upper watershed of the Yaque del Norte River. Locals and community groups came together to reforest the degraded hillside, building trails and protecting water recharge zones. Today, it stands as a green lung and natural viewpoint safeguarding the water that flows down to the entire Cibao region.
