The northern coast of the Dominican Republic is where most of the riches are found. This is because of the amber that washes up on the coast. Amber is made from tree sap that drops down while trapping bugs flying through the air. The sap hardens and the bugs are entombed for millions of years. Because of the amber on the coast, the Dominicans call it The Amber Coast. Did you know that in the opening scene for Jurassic Park, they were in the Dominican Republic while picking up one of the oldest pieces of amber in the world?
