Cabo Rojo Airport (CBJ) to Lago Enriquillo

What this destination covers

This page covers transfer interest to the Lago Enriquillo basin, including Duvergé and the lake itself, as a distinct inland destination from the coastal towns of Pedernales, Cabo Rojo and Barahona. It is a longer and more inland trip than the other destinations on this site, and travellers interested in it are often also interested in the broader Sierra de Bahoruco and Hoyo de Pelempito area, which lies along the same general route.

What is confirmed

• Lago Enriquillo is the largest lake in the Caribbean and sits below sea level, making the surrounding basin the lowest point in the Dominican Republic.
• The lake is hypersaline and supports a population of American crocodiles, along with several islands within it.
• The lake basin is reached today by road through the towns of Duvergé and Jimaní, which lie along the route connecting the region to the rest of the country.
• The surrounding terrain is notably dry and semi-arid compared with much of the rest of the Dominican Republic, a distinct ecological feature of the region.

What is planned or expected

• CBJ is planned to open in February 2027 in Pedernales province, some distance from the Lago Enriquillo basin, which sits further inland and to the north.
• No transfer route connecting CBJ to Duvergé, Jimaní or the lake itself has been officially proposed or confirmed.
• Whether CBJ will become a practical arrival point for visitors focused on the Enriquillo basin, compared with existing routes via Barahona or Santo Domingo, will depend on road connections not yet detailed by authorities.
• Any future transfer pricing or scheduling for this route will be published only once CBJ's operations are officially confirmed.
