I have driven through some places that look suspiciously like humid tropical rainforest in DR.

Namely around Polo and then on the road from Puerto Escondido to Pedernales, both in Sierra de Baoruco. Then some places in the Sierra de Samana too, and also in the Cordillera Oriental.

And then in the Ebano Verde near Bonao. There are also patches of giant ferns in Valle Nuevo, but these would be more like temprate rain forest.
