All three highway entrances to town - the Autopista Duarte,
the Carretera Duarte and the Carretera Turística - lead
directly to the city centre. If you're arriving by bus
, your station will likely be on the north or east side of
town, from where you can get a RD$40 taxi closer to the
heart of downtown.
There are also guagua stations on the corner of 30 de
Marzo and Cucurullo ( guaguas to Mao and Monciòn),
and on Calle Valerio a block west of Parque Valerio (to San
José de Las Matas). Another arrival option is the Cibao
International Airport (tel 809/226-0664), a
twenty-minute drive from the centre.
A complex system of battered public taxis - referred to
locally as motoconchos - should cover most city
transport needs; a one-way ride runs RD$5. Private
taxis wait at the city parks, though you can call
directly for pickup: reliable operators include Camino
(phone 809/971-7788).
