The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy, closed‑toe shoes

Buggies kick up dust and horseback trails can be uneven; supportive shoes protect feet and improve control.

Hydrate before and during the tour

Tropical heat and activity demand regular water—bring a refillable bottle or use the provided water breaks.

Protect against sun and insects

Sunscreen, a hat, and DEET‑based repellent keep you comfortable during exposed buggy sections and slower horseback parts.

Secure loose items

Use a small zippered pack or leave valuables at the hotel—zip lines and buggies won’t accommodate loose phones or jewelry.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Wood‑fired traditional Dominican lunch served on site—try the roast chicken and beans.
  • Short viewpoints near the buggy loops that offer unobstructed jungle-to-field panoramas at golden hour.

Wildlife

  • Green parakeets
  • Hermit crabs and iguanas near shaded clearings

Conservation Note

The park emphasizes low‑impact infrastructure and reforestation patches; visitors are urged to avoid disturbing wildlife and to use provided waste bins.

The inland tracks follow routes once used by rural communities and cattle herders; the area blends Taíno heritage with colonial agricultural history.
