Barahona by Car
I just made the trip via rented car SDQ-Barahona-Perdenales and back. It worked out very well. It is much more convienient than the buses. I am in the process of posting a trip report about it. I found that once you factor in the airport taxies (US $60 r/t), bus fairs, taxies in the capital and in Barahona the cost is not that much more for a reasonably priced rental. I rented from Avis for 9 days for US $323. Plus the convienence factor is priceless as the distances are large. But driving is not for everyone, and the checkpoints are less of a problem on a bus.
