The Dominican Republic is known for its beautiful beaches and all-inclusive resorts. Still, beyond the sea and palm trees, there’s a place where nature, culture, and adventure come together to offer you an unforgettable experience: visiting La Hacienda Park means discovering a completely different side of Punta Cana.
Located in the Anamuya mountains, just minutes from the hotel zone, this ecological theme park has won the hearts of thousands of travelers who seek something more authentic, thrilling, and enriching. If you haven’t experienced it yet, here are 7 reasons why visiting La Hacienda Park should be at the top of your list.
1. Because it’s not just a park, it’s a full experience
When you hear the word “park,” you might think of rides, long lines, or something designed mainly for kids. But visiting La Hacienda Park is something else entirely. You’re not just here to have fun — you’re here to reconnect with the land, local culture, and yourself.
From the moment you arrive, the change of scenery is striking: lush green mountains, fresh air, the sound of the Anamuya river, and a peaceful vibe that invites you to leave stress behind.
2. Because you can experience 7 different adventures in one day
One of the main reasons for visiting La Hacienda Park is that you can enjoy seven unique activities without ever leaving the site. The best part? They’re designed for all kinds of travelers, so you can share them with family and friends.
Each of these activities is integrated into the park’s natural and cultural environment — more than attractions, they’re stories you live through.
Zipline through the treetops
Imagine flying over a tropical jungle at more than 70 km/h. La Hacienda Park’s zipline has five lines that offer incredible views of the Anamuya mountains. It’s pure freedom — one of those sensations that stays with you long after the trip.
Off-road buggies full of mud, laughs, and adrenaline
If you’ve ever dreamed of driving a 4×4 through wild trails, this is your moment. The buggies take you through puddles, slopes, and lush landscapes as you get (literally) soaked with excitement.
Horseback riding with Dominican soul
You’ll ride carefully trained Creole horses through rural paths that connect you with the country’s countryside roots. If you’re looking for something calm and beautiful, this one’s for you.
Free fall jump — for the brave
Dare to jump from a 20-meter-high platform? The quick jump is a personal challenge — a mix of fear, adrenaline, and the incredible relief when your feet touch the ground again.
Panoramic chairlift to breathe it all in
The views from the chairlift are hard to beat. You’ll glide 800 meters above the park, with nothing to do but breathe and marvel at the beauty around you.
Cultural safari that touches the soul
One of the treasures of visiting La Hacienda Park is its immersion into Dominican culture. You won’t just see it — you’ll live it. Tour a traditional village, explore coffee and cacao plantations, sample mamajuana, and meet the animals of a local farm.
A refreshing dip in the Anamuya River
After all that action, it’s time to relax — and what better way than a dip in the cool waters of the Anamuya River? Surrounded by trees, stones, and peaceful vibes, you’ll feel time slow down.
3. Because it’s a model of sustainability
Another reason for visiting La Hacienda Park is its genuine commitment to the environment. The park protects over 4,000 hectares of land, of which 80% are reserved exclusively for conservation.
That means you’re in a place that promotes sustainable tourism and offers unforgettable experiences while caring for nature. The park’s structures are designed to blend into the landscape, waste is managed responsibly, and visitors are constantly educated on eco-friendly travel.
And if you’re concerned about animal welfare, rest easy — nearly 400 horses, plus goats, exotic birds, and other animals, live here under professional care, with safety, health, and education in mind.
4. Because there’s something for everyone
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a family with young children, a couple looking for unique plans, or a senior traveler, visiting La Hacienda Park has something for every age and energy level.
There’s even a Kids Club, where little ones can play safely while adults enjoy the more intense activities. You’ll also find rest areas, scenic viewpoints, gardens, and peaceful spaces to just unwind and enjoy the moment.
5. Because the food is delicious
No Dominican experience is complete without its cuisine, and visiting La Hacienda Park means tasting the country’s flavors.
The park offers a traditional Dominican buffet with home-cooked dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and love: rice and beans, stewed chicken, sancocho, local sweets, and more. Eating here feels like sharing a meal in a warm family kitchen.
And if you go for the VIP plan, you’ll enjoy additional perks like beverages, snacks, private areas, and personalized service that takes the experience up a notch.
6. Because you can do it all in one day (and hassle-free)
One of the biggest perks of visiting La Hacienda Park is how smoothly everything runs. The logistics are top-notch: round-trip transport from your hotel is included in most packages, staff are always available to assist you, and every activity has its own safety and support team.
The full experience takes about 6 to 7 hours, which means you can enjoy a day packed with adventure and still have time to head back to your hotel and relax at sunset.
7. Because it’s the kind of place that stays with you
Fun, safe, and made for everyone — visiting La Hacienda Park is more than just a day trip. It’s a transformational experience. You’ll laugh, get muddy, learn, breathe fresh air, and leave with a heart full of gratitude.
