:glasses:There will be four of us traveling from santo domingo to constanza in july. Any recommendations on the best way to get there? I've looked at renting a car, which is ridiculously expensive. Is there a good bus line? What should I expect to pay for a taxi?
Thanks,
Mark

I do believe that Caribe Tours has a run up there. Look at them.

Maybe I can find out more tonight since i have a couple of students from that area.

Caribe tours or any other large company don't go to Constanza. There are two ways - through one of the "express" services, which are few and far between but will take you straight there for less than $200. The other way is to get a guagua ($100) or a bus (Vegano - $120) to "Abanico de Constanza", which is the drop off point at the bottom of the mountain, and then another guagua ($100) up to Constanza.

This will be a very authentic Dominican experience, but the road between Abanico and Constanza is absolutely stunning, if a little hairy. No one drives it safer than the Guagua drivers though, but it will not be luxuriously comfy.
