La tua guida di Punta Cana

Welcome to Punta Cana, the perfect Caribbean destination in the Dominican Republic! Despite physical limitations, you can be sure that Punta Cana is a place where you'll find natural wonders, cultural heritage, and accessible amenities.

Punta Cana is located at the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a region known for its 32 km of beaches and clear waters. The Bávaro and Punta Cana areas combine to form what is known as the Coconut Coast, an area with exclusive all-inclusive resorts.

Moreover, Punta Cana is also known for its tropical beauty and year-round warm climate. But, did you know that 50 years ago, Punta Cana was little more than a strip of white sand with palm trees? It was Ted Kheel, a labor lawyer from New York, who saw the potential of this place and began to develop it in 1970. What was once a virgin peninsula is now a thriving tropical paradise with a focus on sustainability and inclusion.

The population of Punta Cana is diverse and vibrant. Although only about 50,000 people live here permanently, this figure multiplied by ten during the high tourist season. The local population, known as "Punta Caneses," is a mix of cultures, with influences from Taino, African, European, and, more recently, immigration from other Caribbean islands.

People here are famous for their kindness and hospitality. Don't be surprised if the locals greet you with a warm "Hello!" and a broad smile. This is a culture that values community and mutual aid, something that wheelchair visitors will greatly appreciate.

When planning a trip to Punta Cana, you can expect an enriching and accessible experience. Most hotels and resorts in Punta Cana are equipped with accessible facilities, including ramps and elevators. Accessible rooms are usually equipped with walk-in showers and grab bars. In addition, many resorts offer amphibious wheelchairs that allow visitors with disabilities to enjoy the ocean.

Accessibility also extends to activities and excursions. For example, the famous Manatí Park theme park is equipped with paved paths and ramps. Tour companies also offer accessible tours that include adapted transportation.

A visit to Punta Cana is not complete without experiencing the numerous activities it offers. While traditionally many of these might seem challenging for people in wheelchairs, considerable effort has been made to make them accessible to everyone.

In addition, the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, about two hours' drive from Punta Cana, is a time travel to the Spanish colonial era. This UNESCO heritage has wide sidewalks and ramps, making it easy to navigate in a wheelchair.

As for gastronomy, Punta Cana is a feast of flavors and colors. Here you will find everything from local Dominican dishes to international cuisine. Many restaurants are accessible and feature Braille menus for those with visual impairments. Don't miss trying the sancocho, a traditional stew, or the Dominican flag, a dish of rice, beans, and meat.

Punta Cana is also known for its conservation efforts. The hotels of the Punta Cana Foundation, for example, implement water and energy conservation practices, recycling, and composting. The Ojos Indígenas Ecological Park is a clear example of this commitment to the environment. It is a private nature reserve with accessible trails and twelve freshwater lagoons.

Punta Cana is more than a holiday destination, it's an example of how a community can thrive without leaving anyone behind. The natural beauty of the region, the rich history and culture, and the friendliness of its people are just some of the reasons why Punta Cana is an ideal destination for people in wheelchairs

Trasporto

Airport:

Punta Cana Airport has a range of facilities designed to make travel more convenient and accessible. Below, we mention some of them:

Barrier-free access: The airport has implemented ramps and suitable access points to ensure that people in wheelchairs can easily move around all areas of the airport, including terminals, waiting rooms, shops, and restaurants.

In case you need a wheelchair during your stay at the airport, they are available at the information desks. In addition, airport staff are trained to provide assistance and additional support to people with reduced mobility.

Punta Cana International Airport has two main terminals: Terminal A and Terminal B. These terminals are located in the same complex and are a short distance from each other.

Regarding assistance points, the airport offers assistance services in both Terminal A and Terminal B. These assistance points are strategically located in key areas of the airport, such as check-in rooms, security areas, and boarding gates. There, airport staff are available to provide support and assistance to people with reduced mobility.

In addition, the airport has information and customer service counters distributed in both terminals. These information points are places where passengers can obtain additional help, ask questions about accessibility, and request specialized assistance.

It is important to note that airport staff are properly trained to assist people in wheelchairs and strive to ensure that all areas of the airport are accessible to all passengers, regardless of their mobility needs.

The bathrooms at Punta Cana Airport are adapted to meet the needs of people in wheelchairs. These bathrooms have ample spaces, support bars, and other elements that facilitate access to and use of sanitary services.

The airport offers adapted transportation services for people in wheelchairs. You can request assistance to move from the airport to your vehicle, whether it is an accessible taxi or adapted transfer service.

In addition, the airport staff are trained to provide friendly customer service that is sensitive to the needs of people in wheelchairs. If you have any questions or need additional help, do not hesitate to request it from any member of the airport team.

It is important to note that it is advisable to inform the airport in advance about your accessibility needs so that they can offer you personalized attention and ensure that all necessary arrangements are in place before your arrival.

 

Transportation from the airport to hotels:

Unfortunately, in the specific case of Punta Cana Airport, adapted public transportation is not a common option to reach hotels. Most tourists opt for other more convenient forms of transportation, such as taxis or private transfer services.

Taxis:

Some taxi companies in Punta Cana offer vehicles adapted for people in wheelchairs. These vehicles are equipped with ramps or lifts to facilitate access. I would recommend contacting local taxi companies or your hotel for information on the availability of accessible taxis and making advance reservations if necessary.

Upon leaving the airport, you will find a designated area for taxis, but most Punta Cana taxis are not adapted. In this sense, we recommend hiring a private transportation company.

Private transfer services:

Many hotels in Punta Cana offer private transfer services from the airport. You can coordinate with your hotel in advance to arrange an adapted transfer that suits your needs. These services tend to be more comfortable and secure, as the driver will be familiar with the hotel location and prepared to assist passengers in wheelchairs.

It is important to note that each hotel may have its own policies and transportation options, so we recommend contacting the hotel you will be staying at directly for specific information on the adapted transportation options they offer.

We leave you the contact details of some companies that can help you, remember to inform them of your needs when you contact them.
