There are many ways to travel from Las Terrenas to Santiago, but in this post I will be sharing the steps I took to make this journey.
Step 1
Determine the time you need to leave from your accommodations on your travel day. For me I needed to catch a bus that was supposed to leave at 8:15. So I decided to contact a proper taxi the night before and I told him my address and the time I wanted to leave which was 7:50 am.
In my opinion it's always better to tell your taxi that you want to leave a little bit earlier than needed. Fortunately in my case the chofer was only 3 minutes late, but it's better not to risk it.
Step 2
When I arrived at the bus station I paid my taxi driver 400 pesos. Then I turned around and asked the bus conductor how much it would cost for the bus ride. He said 400 pesos. It ended up being 500 pesos because I had luggage I had to put on the bus.
The amount of time from Las Terrenas to Santiago was about three and a half hours. We stopped several times to pick up new passengers, fill the wheels with air and one bathroom stop when we were a little bit passed a city called Vega.
Step 3
The most difficult part of this journey for me was once I arrived in Santiago. I needed to find a taxi, but at the bus stop there wasn't just a line of taxis waiting. Fortunately after 5 minutes I waved a taxi down.
A funny side bit is I think the taxi was supposed to be for someone else, but I didn't realize that until I was already in the car and the taxi guy didn't seem to care so we just kept it moving to my final destination.
