Sources thermales de Pedernales in the Pedernales Province, the Dominican Republic's most remote and ecologically pristine region bordering Haiti's Parc National La Visite, are oligomineral springs emerging in a landscape of extraordinary biological richness near the Jaragua National Park, the largest protected area in the Caribbean. The Pedernales region encompasses arid coastal scrub, endemic reptile habitats, and some of the Caribbean's most spectacular seabird colonies, and the thermal springs provide a natural geological feature in a corner of the Dominican Republic largely untouched by mass tourism. As the Dominican Republic's border region, Pedernales offers adventurous travellers access to a genuinely wild thermal experience embedded within exceptional Caribbean endemic biodiversity.

Insider tip — The thermal springs of Pedernales are among the most remote hot springs in the Dominican Republic, accessible near the Haitian border in the country's least-visited province. The waters are mildly mineralized with a clean, neutral character suitable for long soaks. The surrounding Jaragua National Park is a biosphere reserve protecting dry forests and the clearest Caribbean waters off the coast. The extreme remoteness means visitors may have entire pools entirely to themselves.
