Can some one Help Please
Hello every one... 
I'm planing to visit DR in 10 day from now, and I would like to go to a town called Neiba where a friend of mine lives, my question is, how can I get to a town called Neiba with out getting lost some simple directions if possible, (note: I will start from the car rental close to the airport) and how long it will take me to get there.
Thank you,
Alan

Thank you,

From the west side...............
...........of Santo Domingo, you should count on a 4 to 4-1/2 hour drive to Neyba. It could take you another hour or more to get from the airport to that part of Santo Domingo.
Take the highway towards St. Cristobal..........follow signs to BARAHONA (which will be further than you need to go, but most signs will show Barahona.)
You will be going through towns such as Bani, and Azua along the way. There is really only one route. Once you go through Azua, continue about 1 to 1-1/2 hours in the wilderness and then once you are at a "military" roadblock, ask from there.................you'll be taking a right turn and then "good luck".
We have to make that trip twice a year from Puerto Plata and we call it our "trip to hell and back".

Thank you for your replay, but could you tell me why you call it trip to hell and is it dangerous to travel at night also is safe to stop in the towns and ask for directions

1. DON'T even think of driving at night.
2. Make sure you have a FULL tank of gas when you leave AZUA cause you won't find much in the way of gas after that.
3. "why you call it trip to hell"...............cause it is.
4. As far as the trip goes...........you'd be better off NOT GOING and say you did.

A. Have a Cellphone with a few key numbers and portable GPS!
B. Hire a driver and not worry about a flat tire in the middle of NOWHERE.
C. Be a hero, and ignore all of the sensible advice you got for FREE on DR1!
