What is Scape Park, Punta Cana?
Scape Park is a spectacular eco-adventure park located in the heart of the exclusive Cap Cana area.
Unlike traditional theme parks, Scape Park has been harmoniously integrated into the natural surroundings of limestone cliffs, tropical rainforest, and crystal-clear waters.
The park offers the perfect balance between excitement and conservation by allowing visitors to explore millennia-old geological formations, dive into turquoise-water cenotes, and enjoy a range of activities that both respect and celebrate the island’s biodiversity.
In essence, a visit here is a complete immersion into the natural soul of the Caribbean.
The top Scape Park activities
The park has been designed so every visitor can find their own adventure level.
Here’s a list of the not-to-be-missed experiences:
- El Hoyo Azul: The park’s crowning glory is a natural cenote with deep blue waters located at the foot of a 75-metre-high cliff. A magical place to swim, take spectacular photographs, and connect with nature’s energy.
- Zip lines (Tirolesas): Feel the adrenaline rush as you soar above the rainforest canopy. Zip lines offer unparalleled views of the park and an unrivalled sense of freedom.
- Cave Exploring: For the more intrepid, this activity allows you to venture deep into a natural cave system, scale rock formations, and discover the geological secrets that the island has kept hidden for centuries.
- Hidden beach: An oasis of tranquillity. Following your adventure, relax on a private beach with crystal-clear waters, enjoy a refreshing drink, and let the gentle wash of the waves clear your mind.
- Iguana Zip Line: A unique experience that allows you to glide alongside iguanas in their natural habitat, combining the thrill of flight with respect for the local wildlife.
- Nature trails and wildlife spotting: Explore interpretive trails with expert guides to explain the local flora, geology, and endemic fauna. It’s common to come across iguanas, butterflies, tropical birds, and small mammals in their natural habitat.
- Rest areas and local cuisine: For those seeking the perfect balance between activity and tranquillity the park also offers areas with hammocks, showers, lockers, and a restaurant serving local Dominican specialities… the ideal place to recharge your batteries before continuing your exploration.
