Punta Cana Airport Transfers: Your Complete Dominican Republic Guide
Welcome to the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
The Dominican Republic consistently welcomes more than 10 million tourists a year, making it the most visited country in the entire Caribbean. Punta Cana, stretching along 48km of palm-lined coast on the eastern tip of the island, is the jewel in the crown.
Arriving at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ)
Punta Cana International Airport features a thatched palm roof structure, giving you that immediate "I'm somewhere tropical" feeling. Despite its relatively small footprint, PUJ handles an enormous volume of passengers, particularly during peak winter season.
