Inagua National Park
Inagua National Park
Covering more than 280 square miles, this is a vast park incorporating inland waters, rocky shoreline, saltwater flats, and large areas of shrubland and jungle. It’s here you’ll find Inagua’s famous flamingos: huge flocks of bright pink, long-legged birds that rise and fly, almost as one, from their nesting grounds around Lake Windsor. Although the drive from Matthew Town to the National Park campground is only about 20 miles, it takes an hour.
Aside from the colonies of flamingos, more than 200 species of birds make their homes in the park. Lake Windsor itself is an unusual sight: the waters are pale pink, due to the salt content. Here and there, wild donkeys can be seen in the distance, but never up close.
If you want to rough it a little, camp out in one of the park’s two rustic cabins. The accommodations are basic, to say the least, but bedding is provided, and there are a couple of fresh-water showers that make life in the outback tolerable. You will need to provide your own food, which you can cook in the park at a specially designated area.
