Coming from Punta Cana?
If you are on a day trip from Punta Cana, your tour bus will take you directly to the park. The drive from Punta Cana is about 2 hours each way on the Autopista del Este. Los Tres Ojos is typically the first stop on Punta Cana day trips because it is the easternmost attraction.
