It protects 18% of the island's territory, preserving unique ecosystems such as coastal desert and dry forest. It is home to archaeological remains of the Arawak people and old colonial plantations.

December to April is high season (better temperatures), but it is more crowded. To avoid crowds and extreme heat, visit early in the morning or between October and November when the landscape is greener.

Partially accessible. The visitor center and areas such as Conchi have paved paths, but many routes are on uneven terrain. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for full access. Check accessible tour options on their website.
