Hi,
We're going to be taking a tour (from Punta Cana) that is in the mountains near a town that google maps has marked as "El Valle," which is on the Hato Mayor-Sabana de la Mar road about 11km from Sabana dlM. Instead of returning to Punta Cana with the tour company, however, we'd like to bail out in that area and make our way to Sabana de la Mar, then over to Samana. For some reaon, the tour company representative does not seem to know much about transpo options in that area.
Try as I might, I haven't been able to locate any bus schedules for the town of El Valle, only Hato Mayor, but if we go all the way south to Hato Mayor it will be a major backtrack back up the road. Is anyone familiar with El Valle and have any suggestions about regularly scheduled buses or guaguas that we could take. My spanish is pretty okay.
I'd also be open to a reserved transfer option (like a taxi), but have been told that there are not taxis in Sabana dlM, even though it is so close.
Thanks!
