Montecristi and Cayos de los siete hermanos

Leaving Montecristi and heading west you will encounter the islands, Cayos Siete Hermanos (seven brother cays). They are, Monte Chico, Monte Grande, Tororu, Ratas, Muertos, Arenas and Terrero. They are all beautiful and virtually unexplored.

Montecristi is one of the driest regions of the Dominican Republic, averaging only 2-3 inches of rain annually, the area mainly consists of dry sub-tropical forests and marine and land ecosystems. The outlying group of islands (Los Siete Hermanos) is home to a variety of seabirds, such as brown pelicans, great egrets, yellow-crowned night herons, red-footed gannet, and frigate birds.

At Tororu, on the south side of the island, approximate position 19°49.57N 71°47.76W, is one of many possible anchorages. Enter from the south between a coral shoal extending out from the western corner and a natural breakwater of exposed rock and coral to the east. There is ten feet of water to anchor in, with a hard sandy bottom. If you draw less than six feet you can anchor quite close to the beach. Take the dinghy to the narrow beach and shelter under the occasional tree, in total isolation. Anchor in the lee of the land protected from the northwest through to the northeast. This is an area renowned for lobster so you may well snorkel amongst the rocks and find your supper. The entire island group is part of the National Park. Most often you will be the only boat around and you will feel like you have discovered your very own paradise.
