Your private transfer from Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) to Altos del Chavon is a fast and comfortable journey.

Traveling from the east coast to Altos del Chavon is a journey of approximately  45 miles.

The journey typically takes 1 hour under normal traffic conditions.

At Canacar.com, our private transfers provide a seamless bridge between the airport and the private gates of Casa de Campo, where the village of Altos de Chavon is located.

The drive is a straight, high-speed shot along the southern coast of the island:

1. Autopista del Coral (Highway 3):

The Entrance: Your driver will exit the Punta Cana Airport and merge directly onto the Highway 3 ramp heading West.
The Segment: This is a world-class, four-lane expressway. It is meticulously maintained and features high-speed toll plazas that keep traffic flowing smoothly away from the busy airport corridor.

2. The Rio Chavon Bridge:

The Landmark: As you approach the final segment, you will cross the iconic bridge over the Chavon River. This is a famous filming location for Hollywood blockbusters and offers your first glimpse of the cliffs where the village sits.

3. The Casa de Campo / Altos de Chavon Exit:

The Exit: Shortly after crossing the river, your driver will take the dedicated exit for “Casa de Campo / Altos de Chavon.” This leads directly to the resort’s main security gate.

The Road to the “City of Artists”: Your Scenic Transfer to Altos de Chavón

Your journey from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) to Altos de Chavón is more than just a commute—it’s a journey back in time. As you settle into your private Canacar.com vehicle, the 50-minute drive across the southeastern coast serves as a breathtaking prologue to the Mediterranean-inspired magic that awaits you.

Here is the vivid experience you’ll witness through your window:

1. The Sea of Sugar Cane

As we merge onto the modern Autovía del Coral, the resort landscapes of Punta Cana give way to the legendary sugar cane fields of La Romana. This is an iconic Dominican vista: emerald-green stalks swaying in the breeze as far as the eye can see. Under the bright Caribbean sun, the fields take on a golden hue, offering a peaceful, rhythmic backdrop to your journey.

2. The Majestic Chavón River Bridge

The absolute highlight of this route is crossing the Río Chavón. As your driver glides over the high-span bridge, look out at the dramatic limestone canyon below. The river winds through a jungle so lush and prehistoric that it famously served as the filming location for Jurassic Park and Apocalypse Now. The sight of the deep green water cutting through the sheer tropical cliffs is a moment you’ll definitely want to capture on camera.

3. The Vibrant Pulse of La Romana

As we approach the Casa de Campo estate, we pass the outskirts of La Romana. You’ll see the towering chimneys of the Central Romana sugar mill and glimpses of local life: colorful “colmados,” vibrant street art, and the bustling energy of a city that bridges the gap between industrial heritage and luxury tourism.

4. Entering the Stone Village

The final leg of your trip is the most enchanting. As we enter the cobblestone pathways of Altos de Chavón, the modern world disappears. You’ll see coral-block architecture, artisanal workshops, and the breathtaking 16th-century style amphitheater peeking through the bougainvillea. The air here is scented with sea salt and tropical blooms, signaling that you’ve arrived at the most artistic corner of the Caribbean.
