Initial research data. We confirm by phone with the operator before every sale.
When to leave
On top of the guagua time (5 h 20 min), add the transfer to the terminal and check-in. For an international flight, leaving 6 hours before departure leaves room for a late bus without running.
Step 1: the guagua from Rio San Juan to Santiago
| Departure | Operator | Terminal | |
|---|---|---|---|

| 08:00 | Combined | Río San Juan minibus stop | Request |

Combined itinerary: 06:30 bus to Cabarete, 09:00 bus to Puerto Plata and 13:00 bus to Santiago. There is no direct bus, we sort out the connection between stops for you.
The last departure of the day is never sold with a Guagualine booking: if your bus fails there must always be a later departure as plan B.
Local schedules and prices are indicative and can change without notice from the operator. We verify them before confirming every booking.
Step 2: from the stop to STI airport
From the airport to central Santiago it is about 20 minutes by taxi.
This trip has no fixed price: it ends at an airport and needs a private transfer to the terminal. Ask us and we work the price out for you.
