Scape Park Itinerary in Cap Cana

Hoyo Azul is a natural pool—or cenote—located in Scape Park, one of Punta Cana’s natural parks. This lagoon is a favorite attraction for tourists, primarily because of its strikingly intense blue water. Nestled at the base of a cliff, the lagoon receives limited sunlight, making its waters noticeably cooler compared to Punta Cana’s coastal waters. Stairs lead down to the water, where swimming is allowed—so don’t forget your swimsuit! Nearby, you’ll find the Iguabonita Cave, another natural wonder of the area. Reaching this hidden gem in Punta Cana involves a walk through the jungle, so wearing sturdy shoes and bringing some water is recommended.

You can spend as much time as you’d like at the cenote. On average, a visit to Hoyo Azul, including the garden walk, takes about 1–2 hours.
