Hello, Am seeking information on transportation, is a car a necessity if I find housing close to everything?
A car is not necessary, if you don't mind walking and are close. You can always get a taxi or motoconcho or gua gua if you need to go a further distance. Where are you going to be located? I know there is also a bus in Puerto Plata, although ... Read More
