I bet you could get a public car (instead of an actual taxi) and make a deal with him for $120 US, $40 each.
He could get you there in 3 hours.

That would be great if we can do that..within our budget and time lines.

I guess we could just ask around when we get there for a driver..
Thanks

Assuming you do not speak much Spanish, you could ask someone at your hotel, if he could find a driver to do it for 100 bux.
As all prices have to get bumped up a bit, in the end, you settle on $120.
Should work fairly easily.
