Bayahibe rose garden

The Bayahíbe Rose (Pereskia quisqueyana) is the DR’s national flower. It’s also a rare cactus, endemic to the Dominican Republic. The Bayahíbe Rose Garden—in the village in which it originates—is the only place in the world where you can spot this soft-pink, endangered flower in abundance. Set adjacent to the Bayahíbe’s church, Parroquia Divina Pastora, and in its backyard garden, the flowers make for a delightful, easy stroll in nature onto the waterfront area of the village.
