From the hydrographic point of view, Los Haitises and its areas of influence comprise two regions: the lower basin of the Yuna River and the area of ​​Miches and Sabana de la Mar. The Yuna drains through two mouths: that of the Yuna itself and that of the Barracote. Additionally, in the area there are the Payabo, Los Cocos and Naranjo rivers, and the Cabirma, Estero, Prieto and other channels.

About Los Haitises Landscape, in addition to the caves, are Caño Hondo, Punta Arena, Caño Salado, Bahía de San Lorenzo and Cayo de los Pájaros, which are very impressive landscape elements. The latter, located between Boca del Infierno and El Naranjo Arriba, is easily recognized by the almost permanent presence of earwigs and pelicans.

About Sanchez City, It was previously a small town called Las Cañitas, but in 1888 it was elevated to the status of a municipality named after one of the founders of the Dominican Republic, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez. It grew in importance and population after the establishment of the railroad in 1865. This line extended to the central region of Cibao, turning this small Caribbean community into the most important port in the country from the end of the 19th century until the beginning of the next century. .

About Laguna Cristal, Laguna Cristal is a beautiful source of fresh water at the gates of the Los Haitises National Park, north of the province of Monte Plata, which has a unique beauty due to its natural attractions and the peace it gives us. The lagoon is fed by groundwater that comes from the neighboring park. A small navigable river emerges from the lagoon for a few hundred meters that feeds the Barracote River, which then flows into the Bay of San Lorenzo. It would be about 200 meters deep and 70 meters in diameter. 

El Naranjo Cave, The El Naranjo River, navigable despite its length of 120 meters, originates in a cavern and can be considered a jewel of nature in Los Haitises National Park, It is an attraction worth knowing, which allows you to appreciate the shortest river in the area island, In a boat you can reach to the end of the cave where the water come from. The cave is a reservoir for bats and swifts and its waters are home to native fish species, which in other rivers and streams are things of the past, such as guabinas, dajaos, carpias, shrimps and crabs.
