Punta Cana holds eleven quests across five categories, led by Beach with four β€” though only just, with three in Food behind it. The categories with nothing in Punta Cana so far are History and Art. Two of them are tier 1 β€” finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other nine are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers eight of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway. A beach quest is coast worth the trip in its own right rather than the nearest sand to a hotel. A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. A stretch of coast has no address to arrive at, so the quest is a point on the map and the photo has to be taken within 200 m of it. ### By category Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Punta Cana quests among them. - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) β€” two in Punta Cana - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) β€” three in Punta Cana - [Beach quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/beach) β€” four in Punta Cana - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) β€” one in Punta Cana - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) β€” one in Punta Cana --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The two quests in Punta Cana the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures β€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [Chicken with Tostones](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJNWrOSaPtqI4RnCgFGtxwQwo) Thick plantain rounds turn into crisp sides Food - [Indigenous Eyes](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJr3u7-6qRqI4R0G7uM318TDg) Clear lagoons hide beneath tropical forest Nature --- Nearby ## Cities near Punta Cana Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Cartagena 6 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/co/cartagena) - [Havana 3 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/cu/havana) - [MedellΓ­n 10 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/co/medellin) - [BogotΓ‘ 21 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/co/bogota) - [Orlando 21 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/orlando) - [Cancun 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/mx/cancun) --- Questions ## About quests in Punta Cana ### How many photo quests are there in Punta Cana? 11, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Beach (4), Food (3) and Nature (2). Nothing in History and Art here yet β€” a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Hoyo Azul, Fried Fish and Tostones and Arena Gorda. ### What is there to do in Punta Cana beyond the obvious? 2 of the 11 quests in Punta Cana are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Punta Cana holds two at tier 1, one at tier 2 and eight at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Chicken with Tostones and Indigenous Eyes, which fall under Nature and Food. ### Can you do all the Punta Cana quests on one trip? Not as one walk. The outermost of the 11 is 66 km from the middle of the Punta Cana list, which makes this a region rather than a neighbourhood: several are a day out in their own right and are worth planning as such rather than fitted in. ### Which Punta Cana quests can you do for free? 9 of the 11 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 11 can be read and travelled to without paying anything β€” the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Punta Cana means two quests: Chicken with Tostones and Indigenous Eyes. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Punta Cana? Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Punta Cana is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Hoyo Azul fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way β€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Punta Cana sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from. --- This is the Markdown rendering of https://getmap.travel/quests/city/do/punta-cana.
