The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure, closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or lightweight hiking shoes are required—flip-flops and sandals are not permitted during activities.

Stow valuables before ziplines

Personal items like phones and cameras aren’t allowed on lines; bring a small locker or leave items at the meeting point.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Six hours including transfers can be tiring—drink water before arrival and sip between activities to avoid fatigue.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent

The cenote and shaded river areas are sensitive—use biodegradable products to protect the water and local wildlife.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Blue Cenote lagoon swim within the park—cool, clear water shaded by limestone edges
  • Short cave section along the jungle river offering a dim, photo-worthy contrast to sunlit pools

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas sunning on rocks
  • Tropical songbirds and small migratory birds in the canopy

Conservation Note

Guides emphasize protecting freshwater features—avoid chemical sunscreens, pack out trash, and follow instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance.

La Altagracia province was long inhabited by the Taíno before 20th-century development turned Punta Cana into a resort region; today excursions blend local tradition with visitor services.
