7 days in Punta Cana Itinerary

In an area boasting beaches that face both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, vacations in Punta Cana have been popular with tourists since the early 1970s.

Head to Palma Real Shopping Village and Punta Blanca Mallfor some retail therapy. Visit Bavaro Beach and Macao Beach for some beach relaxation. Venture out of the city with trips to Altos de Chavon (in La Romana) and Bayahibe (Scuba & Snorkeling & Conquista Park). And it doesn't end there: take a memorable tour with Tours, step off the mainland to explore Saona Island, kick your exploration up a notch at some of the top local zipline courses and adventure parks, and see exotic creatures in open habitats at a safari tour.
