The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe sport shoes

Flip-flops are not permitted; closed athletic shoes give you traction on platforms and during short hikes between stations.

Bring a swimsuit and towel

You’ll finish at a waterfall pool/cenote — plan to swim and change afterward; lockers or a safe storage option are recommended.

Follow weight/age rules

The park has specific height, weight, and age restrictions for safety; confirm these when booking to avoid disappointment.

Leave valuables behind

Cameras and phones are typically not allowed on the ziplines; use park photo services or lockers for personal items.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small village coffee tasting stop — try locally roasted espresso-style brew
  • Blue Lagoon cenote edges and nearby rock outcrops for quiet photos away from the main pool

Wildlife

  • Tropical songbirds such as bananaquits
  • Small lizards and iguanas in sunny clearings

Conservation Note

Park operators emphasize low-impact infrastructure and restrict loose items to prevent litter; visitors should avoid touching vegetation and pack out any trash.

This region of eastern Hispaniola features limestone karst landscapes and small agricultural villages whose lived traditions show Spanish and Taíno influences in food and craft.
