1-How long is the ride?
2- Is there a direct bus route? (I dont want to have to take bus to La capital to them take another bus to Punta Cana)
3- is there a local airline that flight on mondays from Santiago to Punta Cana?
4- If driving. How long is the drive? Is it easy to get to Punta Cana? This is my last resort as I have driven many times in D.R but only in La capital and Santiago but never real long distances.

Gracias a todos por sus respuestas.

1-Roughly 5 to 6 hours to drive, depending on the traffic in SD. Add a couple of hours by bus.

2-No direct bus. You will need to change in SD, which involves a cab ride from the Caribe or Metro tours station to the Bavaro Express parada.

3-No scheduled flights; only charters.

4-Driving in the cities is the hard part. Most of the rest of the trip is on 4 lane autopistas.
