Punta Cana is located in the east of the country, in the province of La Altagracia. Its more than 40 miles of white sandy beaches, endless rows of palm trees, a turquoise sea and its luxurious and spacious hotel infrastructure make it the most visited tourist destination in the Caribbean year-round.
Punta Cana and Playa Bávaro are ideal for scuba diving and snorkelling. One of the most popular attractions in the area are the theme parks with exhibits featuring all kinds of animals.
