Monte Cristi

Monte Cristi occupies a northwestern coastal plain in the Dominican Republic. Set beside Monte Cristi Bay, it lies near the broad mouth of the Yaque del Norte, the country’s longest river. The coastal horizon is marked by El Morro, a limestone headland within Monte Cristi National Park, whose protected terrain also includes mangroves, lagoons and salt flats. The town has long been a Caribbean port and carries a wider historical association: José Martí and Máximo Gómez signed the Manifesto of Montecristi here in 1895, setting out aims for Cuba’s war of independence.
