I fly from New York to DR really cheap. What are my options to get to Puerto Plata for the least money? Are there guaguas? Taxis? How much do they cost?
depending on your arrival time, you can take a public car route PA
that will take you into the city.... from there take another car route
(route A) to rotonda and in there take Javilla Tours bus (cheaper than caribe tours).
this will be the cheapest route to Pto plata.
Route PA in sti airport is outside of airport parking lot. The public car
is across from where cars pay security guard parking fee. You should see a beat up car with PA sticker.... there's another route,, can't remember the route name... but route PA takes into las carreras avenue and from there you can ask where to take route A to La Rotonda and there take javilla tours.
Route PA cost RD$ 20 pesos
Route A cost RD$7- 8 pesos
Javilla Tours RD$ 60 or 65 pesos
Total cost= 88 to 93 pesos (less than $3 dollars) can't beat that.
all 3 routes require that you only have a carry-on.. if you have luggage
then you will have to cab from airport to caribe tours.
approx cost for cab and caribe: 530 pesos (appr $16 dollars).
