Las Terrenas Getting there & around

Getting around

You can walk to and from most places in Las Terrenas, though getting from one end to the other can take a half-hour or more. Taxis charge US$10 each way to Playa Bonita and El Portillo and US$15 to US$20 to Playa Cosón and El Limón. Motoconchos are cheaper – US$1.75 to Playa Bonita and US$7 to Playa Cosón – but are less comfortable. There are taxi and motoconcho stops in front of El Paseo shopping center and motoconchos are plentiful on Calle Principal and around Pueblo de los Pescadores. A bike can be handy for getting around town.

There are several local rental car agencies but rates are exorbitant (around US$80 per day). One of the more established and reliable ones is ADA Rental Car (809-704-3232; Plaza Taína; 9am-1pm & 2:30-7pm Mon-Sat).
