2. Taxi (Jesus) - Cabarete to Sosua

3. Motoconcho - Cabarete to Costombar (Barba Negra) (or is it too far for Moto?)
4. Taxi (Jesus) - Cabarete to Costombar (return following day!)

5. Cabana in Cabarete

Thanks

If you take a motoconcho from Cabarete to Sosua or Costambar you have a deathwish. It is VERY dangerous to go more than a mile on a motoconcho. It is highly recommended if you are looking to save money take a carro publico or gwa gwa for 26 pesos ......or less!
Both are safe and cheap and can be caught right outside Jose O shays or a few feet down towards Kite Beach. You can also negotiate the rental of an entire carro for $182 Pesos. Its 26 per person, so rent the whole car for 1/4 of the price of a cab. make sure he repeats the amount back to you!

I am afraid to take a motorconcho to Charmicos from Sousa. One guy almost killed me. Never again.

ATTICA...ATTICA...

4 of us had Jesus drive us to BB for a couple of hrs. He charged us 30us. At the time I figured it was a bit high, but screw it. Hes a nice guy and speaks enough english to have a conversation.

Thanks guys.

BTW I did travel from Costombar to POP numerous times by motoconcho while i was there last year. Very interesting indeed. lol

GWA seems like a good way to go, will have to check these out next month.

Thanks again,

I paid 100 pesos for my wife and I to go from Cabarete to Sosua in July. Try the Transito Publico. Look for the cars with the blue signs on top. Cabarete to Sosua for 20 pesos. People call them gua gua's but that is not correct. Gua gua's are usually a white van. Use them for longer distances.
