The Experience

Before You Go

Wear water-friendly footwear

Sturdy water shoes improve traction on slick limestone and make cave and cenote access safer.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect aquatic systems when swimming in cenotes and pools.

Hydration and timing

Start early to beat heat and crowds; carry a refillable water bottle and drink often between activities.

Secure belongings

Use a small waterproof bag or locker for valuables—phones and cameras can get soaked on the splash ziplines.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Blue Hole (Hoyo Azul) overlooks and quieter morning access
  • Short cultural trail side exhibits that recreate Taíno and colonial life, often less busy at midday

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas
  • Local tropical birds such as kingfishers and mockingbirds

Conservation Note

The park manages sensitive karst and freshwater features by restricting certain activities and promoting reef-safe products; visitors should follow leave-no-trace rules to minimize impact.

The Cap Cana area has Taíno archaeological heritage and later Spanish colonial land-use; the park interprets these layers through recreated village exhibits.
