Abaco National Park
Bahamas
Since its founding in 1994, the Abaco National Park has served as a haven for local and migratory birds, wild hogs, and endangered species. Situated on Abaco's southern tip, the 20,500 acre park was created as part of an initiative to preserve the endangered Bahama Parrot's habitat and breeding areas.
Today the park is an eco-tourism focal point. There is no entry fee, and visitors are invited to spend the day hiking, exploring, and bird watching. The sanctuary is home to a broad variety of bird species, such as West Indian Woodpeckers, Bahama Swallows, and the Bahama Hummingbird. Open year-round, it is ideal for winter visitors escaping the cold to spend some time observing their feathered counterparts.
Eco-tourists can reach the park by car, driving south from Marsh Harbour. Completely untouched, the park has no facilities, and explorers are encouraged to pack their own food and supplies and clean up after themselves.
