About this tour
CUEVA FUN FUN: ACEPTA EL RETO DEl VIAJE AL CORAZÓN DE LA TIERRA!
El interesante paisaje tropical de la finca en el Rancho Capote y el fascinante mundo subterráneo del complejo cavernario de Fun Fun, usted lo podrá experimentar a través de nuestra excursión de ecoturismo y turismo de aventura, con guías expertos, disfrutando además de un rico desayuno con abundantes frutas tropicales, una cabalgata, una caminata en el bosque tropical y un inolvidable recorrido de más de una hora en la Cueva Fun Fun con la inclusión de nado en un túnel atravesado por un rió subterráneo, contemplando en la salida de la cueva los petroglifos, unido a un regenerador baño en el río y luego con una segunda cabalgata hasta llegar de regreso al rancho y disfrutar de una deliciosa comida típica dominicana.
Su inolvidable aventura comienza con un delicioso desayuno de frescas y abundantes frutas tropicales. Le sigue un cambio de vestimenta especial y breve entrenamiento con guías y equipos profesionales de alta seguridad, con la finalidad de adentrarse en el mundo subterráneo.
Empieza la aventura con una cabalgata hasta el pié de la zona cársica (rocas calizas de origen coralino en Los Haitises). Luego una caminata a través del bosque húmedo en plena reserva Dominicana de los Haitises, donde el bosque húmedo y las pequeñas montañas cónicas se entremezclan en un ecosistema con una de las más rica diversidad biológica del Caribe Antillano.
Finaliza la caminata en una pequeña fisura que no es más que una de las chimeneas del complejo cavernario. Prepárese para un descenso en soga haciendo rapel desde una altura de 20 metros aproximadamente al interior de la cueva, siempre en manos de expertos guías profesionales.
A partir de este momento los guías lo conducirán por túneles y gigantescos corredores subterráneos. Asómbrese de espectaculares estalactitas y estalagmitas, coladas, columnas, admire la impresionante perfección del efecto del agua en la disolución de la roca caliza, creando cristales perfectos, observe como cada estalactita y estalagmita emite un sonido diferente, creando una verdadera sinfónica en lo profundo de las entrañas de la Tierra.
Ahora empezará a sentir agua entre sus pies, empieza a recorrer un río subterráneo que pronto verá un pequeño túnel donde se aventurará, si lo desea, a nado o puede tomar la ruta alternativa e ir a pie sin tener que nadar.
Aumenta el volumen del agua, apreciará el revoloteo de cientos y miles de murciélagos inquietos por su preséncia, admírelos que son habitantes cavernícolas indefensos que juegan un extraordinario papel en el equilibrio de la ecología.
Unos metros más y ves la luz al final del túnel, has llegado a la salida principal de Fun Fun, donde los ríos salen a ver la luz, lamiendo suavemente las rocas. Es un lugar espectacular: grandes bloques de rocas, exuberante vegetación, la anidación de las golondrinas, y lo más importante, la herencia de la cultura prehispánica con la presencia de petroglifos, arte rupestre milenario y mágico religioso, herencia de la más importante cultura antillana, la Taína.
Finalmente, los caballos te llevarán de regreso, en una segunda cabalgata al comedor del rancho, para finalizar esta increíble aventura con un rico buffet de sana y deliciosa comida y bebida criolla, mientras se deleita con la hermosa vista de rebaños de ovejas y cabras y hermosos jardines y aves exóticas.

Why travelers from Paris choose this
Travelers from Paris benefit from direct daily flights operated by Air France from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to Punta Cana (PUJ), with a flight duration of approximately 10 hours. This consistent schedule offers reliable access to the Dominican Republic throughout the year, making trip planning straightforward for those seeking a direct connection without layovers.
The Dominican Republic provides a significant winter temperature contrast for Parisians, with average temperatures around 6°C in Paris during colder months compared to 28°C in the destination. This reliable warmth, combined with peak booking months from France falling in December, January, February, March, July, and August, aligns with both winter escapes and summer holiday periods, offering a predictable seasonal alternative to Europe’s climate variability.
Practical advantages include a favorable exchange rate of approximately 1 EUR to 65 DOP, enhancing purchasing power locally. French citizens do not require a visa for tourist visits; instead, a tourist card costing $10 is sufficient for entry. Additionally, the availability of French-speaking guides supports smoother communication and cultural navigation, particularly valuable for travelers who prefer assistance in their native language.

- Are there direct flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Punta Cana (PUJ) operated by Air France?
- Yes, Air France operates direct flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Punta Cana (PUJ) with a typical flight duration of approximately 9 hours and 15 minutes. These flights usually depart in the late morning or early afternoon from CDG Terminal 2E and arrive at PUJ in the late afternoon local time. The route is served several times per week, particularly during the high season from December to April. Passengers should check Air France’s official schedule for exact frequencies, as they vary by season. No other French carrier currently offers non-stop service on this route.
- Can I pay in euros (EUR) directly in the Dominican Republic, or do I need to exchange to Dominican pesos (DOP)?
- While some tourist-oriented businesses in Punta Cana, such as major hotel chains and tour operators, may accept euros (EUR) as a courtesy, the official currency is the Dominican peso (DOP), and most local transactions require payment in DOP. Exchanging EUR to DOP upon arrival at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) or at authorized exchange offices in cities like Santo Domingo or Santiago is recommended for better rates. Using euros directly often results in unfavorable exchange rates set by merchants. ATMs dispensing DOP are widely available and accept French-issued debit cards bearing Visa or Mastercard logos.
- Do French citizens need a visa to enter the Dominican Republic for tourism purposes?
- French citizens do not require a visa for tourist stays in the Dominican Republic of up to 90 days. Entry is granted upon presentation of a valid French passport, which must remain valid for the duration of the stay. Travelers must also complete an electronic ticket (e-ticket) form online before arrival, which includes health, customs, and immigration details. This form is mandatory for all passengers regardless of nationality. No visa or consular pre-approval is needed for French passport holders visiting for leisure, provided they have proof of return or onward travel and sufficient funds for their stay.
- Are there Spanish-speaking guides available in Punta Cana who also speak French for travelers from France?
- Yes, many licensed tour operators in Punta Cana and the broader La Altagracia province offer guides who speak French in addition to Spanish and English, catering specifically to French-speaking tourists. These guides are often certified by the Dominican Ministry of Tourism and can be booked through hotels, travel agencies, or directly via platforms like GetYourGuide or Viator, where language preferences can be filtered. While English is more commonly available, French-speaking guides are regularly scheduled for excursions to sites such as Saona Island, Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, and ecological tours in Los Haitises National Park, especially during peak European travel months.
- What is the typical exchange rate for euros (EUR) to Dominican pesos (DOP) when exchanging money in the Dominican Republic?
- As of mid-2024, the exchange rate for euros (EUR) to Dominican pesos (DOP) fluctuates between approximately 60 and 65 DOP per 1 EUR when exchanged at banks or official exchange houses in the Dominican Republic. Rates at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) hotels or resort front desks are often less favorable, sometimes below 55 DOP per EUR. For better value, travelers are advised to exchange money at Banco Popular, Banco BHD León, or authorized casas de cambio in urban centers. Using ATMs to withdraw DOP directly with a French bank card typically yields rates close to the interbank rate, minus any foreign transaction fees imposed by the issuing bank.
