Where is Punta Cana
Where is Punta Cana? That’s a question that has baffled many people for
a long time. Punta Cana is located on the eastern part of the Dominican
Republic. That is the typical answer you would expect if you ask most
people.
The first thing you must understand about Punta Cana is that
the place is not a city or a province. That is the reason of why is so
hard
to pinpoint an exact location. The sectors of Punta Cana, Bavaro, Veron
and Macao constitute a Municipal district inside the province of La
Altagracia.
The area of Punta Cana blends with the other sectors such
as Bavaro creating a large touristic area.
The area of Punta Cana can be found south of Bavaro however most
of the eastern coast including Bavaro is considered to be part of the
Punta Cana vacationing area. Starting from the north with the Macao
beach, the area extends all the way south through the beaches of Arena
Gorda, El Cortecito, Bavaro, Cabeza de Toro, Cabo Engaño and Punta
Cana. Punta Cana is basically a tourist destination and has a
population of approximately 100,000 people.
The closest town to the
Punta Cana area is Higuey which is 45 km away and takes approximately
30 to 45 minutes to get there. There are more than 50 incredible
resorts and other interesting places to go in the area of Punta Cana.
It can be very helpful for you if you check a map of the Punta Cana
area
and the location of the resorts, airport and towns nearby before
heading there.
The Punta Cana International Airport which is the busiest
airport in the Dominican Republic plays a very
important role in this amazing tourist destination. Since it is the
busiest airport in the country, even more than the one near the capital
city of Santo Domingo, is easy to imagine that many want to know
about the region of Punta Cana. Most people like to have an
idea on how far is the Punta Cana International Airport from the resort
that they desire for their getaway.
Keep in mind that the airport is located a couple of
miles north northwest from the main area of Punta Cana which can be a
bit far from the resorts near Macao beach. As you can notice knowing
where
is Punta Cana can help you to determine the perfect spot for your
vacation.
