VISITS AND VACATIONS

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

PUNTA CANA

1.Saona Island

What is it? An untouched island off the coast of Punta Cana.

Why go? If you want to escape the tourist crowds, Saona Island is the paradise you need. The island is a government-protected nature reserve and part of the East National Park. You’ll find wildlife throughout the island, from birds to a beach full of starfish. If you’re lucky you’ll see sea turtles laying their eggs during nesting season.

2. Scape Park

What is it? This natural theme park’s limestone topography and pristine jungle provide many stunning views and walks – and there are historical attractions too.

Why go? The Farallon Cliff extends 800 meters along the coast, while there’s also a hidden cenote, caves and a zipline. The aim of the park was also to embrace the cultural heritage and traditions of Latin America and the Caribbean – with replica homes of the ancient Taino Indians, who occupied the land before the Conquistadors arrived.

3. Hoyo Azul

What is it? A key part of Scape Park, this sinkhole (cenote) is hidden at the base of a 75-meter cliff.

Why go? The turquoise waters draw the crowds in. Hoyo Azul (Blue Hole) is a natural phenomenon filled with crystal-clear water. It’s wise to visit early as it can be very popular, and don’t forget to bring a swimming suit so you can bathe in the waters.
