    Sosua-Puerto Plata

    What are the different options to go from Sosua to Puerto Plata and back?

    Are there also public cars and gwa-gwas to get there? If so, what's the latest possible time to come back from PP to Sosua by bus or public car?

    How much would a taxi cost?

    Thanks in advance for your help with these questions.

    Basically you can hire the taxi for all night for anywhere from 1000-2000RD all night. As for the latest, well just about anyone will stop for you as long as you give them gas money.

    Not sure when the publicos quit. The guaguas I understand are more or less 6AM to 6PM. Since the action in POP is going to be at its best after midnight, hiring a taxi for the night is probably the way to go.

    guaguas are the minivans, they operate till nihgtfall. publicos are public taxis, they got a RED taxi sign on top saying PUERTO PLATA - SOSUA. those operate all night long. in puerto plata they operate from in front of the public hospital, hrere the redlights are. difficult to stop them en route, because they fill up right away.
    my advise: stick with cabs, share it with a friend monger

    I used the shared taxis across the supermarket on the main road to get to Puerto Plata - I think it was something like 50 pesos.
