How long does it take to get to La Romana from Santiago? I'm travelling on my own car, I live in Santiago so I know how to get around in Dominican Republic. I'm most definitely taking the main highway. I heard something about 6 hours but I wanted to ask on here to be sure.

How long does it take to get to La Romana from Santiago?
I would say 3 1/2 hours, unless you land up in some bad traffic going through Santo Domingo.
If you drive fast and travel in the middle of the night, you could do it in less than 3 hours.
Consider the starting point, where Estrella Sadhala meets the Main highway, and add on any in-town travel time.
How long does it take you to that point?
What are you driving?
Do you tend to drive over 100 KPH or 60 MPH?
Do you stop frequently on a trip like that?
I don't stop frequently but I like to drive safe, but not very slow. I won't go like 120 MPH the whole way...maybe 70-80 MPH.
I drive a toyota jeep thing i'm not even sure what model it is but it is very reliable, goes fast, has no problems. It uses Gasol del bueno...
I would only stop for gas and to use the bathroom to pee (maybe 2 times, 3 at most)/
3 1/2 hours sounds right to me, then.
Try to avoid crossing Santo Domingo at rush hour.
Alright I'm taking your word for it, but if it does take me 6 hours or whatever I'm coming to get you 
gre: :ninja: >:O
LOL just kidding, thanks for letting me know though. Peace.

And you'll be glad to know that you can get here from La Romana in less than 6 hours.Alright I'm taking your word for it, but if it does take me 6 hours or whatever I'm coming to get you
Shoot! I made it from Cap Cana to Santiago in under 5 hours!! With three short stops. Early on a Sunday morning.
La Romana-> Santiago should be in the 3 1/2 hour range--like they have said--depending on traffic in Santo Domingo.
Here is a hint: When you go across the bridge and take 27 de Febrero, continue to Ortega y Gasset (after the Centro Ol?mpico) and take a right. Then take a left on the street next to the Hospital de las Fuerzas Armadas and go to Tiradentes. Right on Tiradentes, left on John F. Kennedy and off to the Cibao!! You will save up to 15 minutes with this trick.

If you can avoid going through there from 7 to 10 AM and 3 to 6 PM, you'll avoid most of the grid locks.
