Hoyo Azul is a breathtaking natural cenote with vibrant turquoise waters, nestled within Scape Park Cap Cana in Punta Cana. Access is primarily through guided tours offered by Scape Park, involving a scenic jungle hike that, while generally accessible for those with average mobility, may include stairs and uneven terrain, making it less suitable for wheelchairs. It operates year-round, with tours running daily regardless of the tropical climate, and solo visits directly to the cenote are not typically permitted. The approximate cost is usually bundled with a Scape Park admission, ranging from $100 to $150+ USD per person, and while the visit to the cenote itself might last 30-60 minutes, the overall park experience can be half to a full day. Visitors should bring swimwear, towels, reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, and water shoes; booking in advance is highly recommended due to its popularity.
