travel from Bonao
As mentioned there are two ways to travel to and from Bonao to Santiago and SD. There is no Caribe tours stop and a lot of times they tell me they won't stop for me.
One is Tarea Bus that goes to the capital about every half an hour - for $70 pesos. Bonao # 809-525-7095. To go from Santo Domingo you can get Tarea Bus at El Nueve SD # 809-560-7816
For Santiago one has to take a guagua at the parada for Santiago - it is right on the main entrance to Bonao off of the highway (the entrance that has the restaurant called El Tipico). Ask around, someone can tell you where it is. The guaguas from Santiago to Bonao stop at the park very close to Caribe and El Metro tours.
These both offer transportation both direction to and from Bonao.
Other cars leave for sites such as La Vega near Scotia Bank.
Any other Bonao questions, please ask. I live here.
