Punta Cana Eco Aventure Park: Zipline, Horseback & Buggy Adventure with Macao Beach
A full-day combo of zipline, dune buggy and horseback rides through Dominican ranchland, ending with a wash in Macao Beach and a wood-fired homestyle lunch. Perfect for travelers seeking varied outdoor thrills and cultural insight in one trip.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Trails include dirt, mud and river crossings—closed-toe shoes keep feet protected and improve stability.
Bring a dry bag or spare clothes
You’ll likely get splashed on the buggy route and at the river; a change of clothes makes the beach stop comfortable.
Hydrate and pace yourself
The day lasts 5–6 hours in tropical heat—drink water before and during the tour to avoid fatigue.
Protect against sun and insects
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent; shaded trails reduce sun but bugs are active near riverbeds.

The area blends coastal sediment plains with small-scale agricultural plots; cacao and coffee cultivation have long been part of rural La Altagracia’s economy and local foodways.
