We want to spend a week or so around Barahona. Hotel will meet and transfer us from Santo Domingo but flights from UK go to Puerto Plata or Punta Cana. How best to get there? Don't really want to hire a car. Would a taxi be out of the question and if so should we stop somewhere on way - Jarabacoa looks good? Does anyone have an idea of cost of long taxi rides? We are really happy to explore but don't want to spend our entire holiday on the road. Please help!
