Punta Cana. - In a destination worldwide known for its beaches, a different proposal begins to gain prominence among travelers seeking something more than sun and sand. A few months after its opening, Sacred River has positioned itself as one of the most relevant adventure tourism initiatives in the Dominican Republic, attracting more than 45,000 visitors since its launch.
Located within Bávaro Adventure Park, Sacred River departs from the traditional concept of tourist attraction. The experience proposes an immersive journey that establishes a direct relationship with the natural environment of the Caribbean, integrating landscape, movement, and exploration along the way. The tour includes underground rivers, jungle trails, waterfalls, and spaces designed for pause, designed for the visitor to advance at their own pace. The constant sound of water, natural lighting, and architectural integration with the environment define the character of the journey, which combines adventure with moments of contemplation and allows you to explore the landscape in a more intimate and conscious way.You can also read: Me By Meliá is dressed by Lacoste: This is their new collaboration with a marked cosmopolitan and creative style
Far from a conventional concept, Sacred River is committed to a more direct and respectful way of relating to nature. Each section has been designed to offer an experience that combines exploration, movement, and contact with the environment, strengthening the visitor's bond with the destination and promoting more conscious tourism. “The proposal was to create an experience that felt real, that respected the environment and that left an emotional mark on those who experience it,” explains Héctor Ureña, commercial director of the park. “Today we see visitors who not only enjoy the tour, but also leave with a different perception of the place, more connected.” The public's response has been positive and consistent. Families, couples, groups of friends, and independent travelers agree in describing Sacred River as a novel alternative within Punta Cana, away from the destination's traditional offerings. Part of its strength lies in that contrast: offering adventure without ostentation, emotion without artifice, and genuine contact with nature. Beyond diversifying the tourist offer, Sacred River is established as a benchmark for responsible tourism, where recreational activity and the natural environment coexist in a balanced way, raising the stakes for the visitor beyond conventional entertainment. Open 365 days a year, Sacred River allows each visit to be different. The weather conditions, the light, and the seasons transform the tour, renewing it on each occasion. Sacred River is open every day of the year within Bávaro Adventure Park.
