Punta Cana is a cape on the coastline of the Dominican Republic. It is the most visited holiday destination in the Caribbean, famous for its hotel complexes and its beaches, which boast fine white sand, turquoise waters, palm tress and an ideal climate.
You will be able to visit water parks like Manati Park, where you can swim with dolphins and watch shows. At night, Punta Cana has a fantastic nightlife courtesy of its excellent nightclubs, bars, casinos theatres and cinemas.
Playa Bábaro is considered to be one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world. Among the activities you can engage in there are: snorkelling, diving, fishing, swimming with sharks and dolphins, sailing and much more besides. Other good beaches are Ubero Alto, Macao, El Cortecito, Cabeza de Toro, Cabo Engaño, Punta Cana and Juanillo.
We recommend visiting nearby cities and towns like Bayahibe, Isla Saona and Altos de Chavón, (where scenes of Apocalypse Now were shot), and neighbouring beaches, caves, jungles and other heavenly places.
As in other parts of the Caribbean, handcrafts are always available, particularly in Amber. If you visit the town of Higüey, you will find excellent local spirits, like rum and mamajuana, as well as Havana cigars.
Lovers of ecotourism will be glad to know that they can go horse riding in exotic tropical jungles and visit the National Park of the East, as well as the island of Saona.
