Paradise found
Dominican Republic has much in common with the countries of Latin America (with which it is often grouped). Some writers have referred to the country as a microcosm of that region. Dominicans have experienced the political and civil disorder, ethnic tensions and export-oriented booms and busts at regular intervals. But, none of this has disrupted their spirit and enthusiasm.
This country is mountainous in the central and west, while extensive lowlands dominate the south east.
Compared to the tropical conditions in the west, the lowlands of the south east are exceptionally dry, with little usable plant growth. There are four significant mountain ranges.
