G EOGRAPHY The island of Hispaniola, which is shared by the modern Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti, is located between the parallels of 17° 40' and 19° 56' north latitude, and 68° 20' and 70° 01' west longitude from the Greenwich Meridian (GMT -4 hours). Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Greater Antilles, Cuba being the largest. CLIMATE The Dominican Republic is located in the eastern two-thirds of the island, occupying 48,482 square kilometers. It is divided into 29 provinces and a National District—Santo Domingo. The western third of the island is the Republic of Haiti. The valley of the Cibao averages between 16 kms and 24 kms in width and stretches across a length of 240 kms. The central portion is known as La Vega Real and is the richest agricultural land on an island where most of the soil is rich and fruitful. Many of the primary rivers of the country are navigable: the Ozama, Soco, Higuamo, Yaque del Norte, Yaque del Sur, Yuna, Yuma and the Bajabonico. At the source of the Yuna is a great man-made lake and national park, La Presa. Many of the high-mountain rivers have beautiful cascading waterfalls. The Dominican Republic has rain-forested slopes, high treeless plains, and along the island's shore, there are mangrove jungles, phosphorescent bays, caves and sinkholes of all sizes and description, and palm-lined beaches of golden sand, white sand, gray sand, and black sand, as well as many beaches to the west with no sand at all, just rocks and gravel of all colors imaginable.
