The 10 Best Things to do in Punta Cana, La Altagracia Province

January 24, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

Among the best golf destinations in the world, Punta Cana is the very picture of leisure. Several of the courses have been designed by professional golfers, making for the perfect sort of kicked-back challenge that you want on a golfing vacation. The beaches here are simply perfect: calm, warm waters that gently lap at stretches of fine white sand. Thrill yourself with a zip-line adventure, clap along with traditional Dominican music at a cultural performance, or explore the magical lagoons of the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park.

Reserva Ecologica Ojos Indigenas

The Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve is a private protected area owned and operated by the Grupo Puntacana Foundation. Consisting of lowland subtropical forest, the reserve covers 1,500 acres of land dedicated to conservation, scientific research, and recreation.The Ecological Reserve is a forest reserve with twelve freshwater lagoons, five of which visitors can swim in. Historians discovered that the Taíno Indians, the pre-Columbian inhabitants of the island, referred to the lagoons as “eyes” because of their distinctive shape. For this reason, the Ecological Park and Reserve was named “Ojos Indígenas” or “Indigenous Eyes.”The Ecological Park consists of numerous exhibits describing the cultural and natural history of the island.

This is an unique experience. Ojos Indigenas Reserve is an impresive place to swim and jump from the platform to the water or just unwind embracing the beauty of this crystal clear fresh water. Great to go with the family and enjoy the path to get there, observing natural wildlife ( Birds, iguanas, butterflies) you will find around until the paths leads you to the Magic Lagoon where you can also spot shrimps, fish and turtles. Been there twice and anytime I visit Dominican Republic, this is a MUST.

Hoyo Azul

Located in Scape Park, Cap Cana. After passing an interesting trail where you will find some of the most peculiar flora and fauna in the Caribbean, you will reach this spectacular lagoon at the foot of the 65mt high cliff. These turquoise waters have a depth of 37 meters in its deepest point.

Reviewed By nicole_boarman - Grandview, United States

We enjoyed the Hoyo Azul as part of the Scape Park. It is quite unique and a lot of fun! You have to do some hiking to get here. We recommend going early in the day when the water is still clear and calm because there isn't many people yet. Wear water shoes and take your bathing suit. Take your phone in a waterproof case because you can take pictures. You could even take your masks if you wanted. Kids may want a life jacket. Overall it is a once in a lifetime experience in a breath taking place. The pure beauty hiking there, walking up to it, and swimming in it is so magical.

Reviewed By WDAndrews - Orillia, Canada

Our friend JC helped us to donate clothing and blankets for the poor. Our donation was given to a nearby community of Friusa. One does not see the poverty when on a resort, or living on the economy in Punta Cana. The Catholic Church will provide donated goods, medication at no cost to the poor unlike government agencies or entrepreneurs. Please donate! I put up a Facebook post asking for luggage and goods, friends responded and we took them. The Church volunteers are trained to help. Use whatsapp to phone the church, drop by durning the day, or go to Sunday Mass at 10 am, or call JC, Church Usher, at 18293148328. Gospel is read in English. Download the readings before you go if you don’t understand Spanish.

This is a very nice mall, with lots of nice shops and restaurants. We went there thinking that the hard rock restaurant was still there but still stayed and ate at outbacks. Its very clean and quite pretty. Nice place to spend an afternoon at.
