Santa Cruz de Barahona旅遊指南
城市概覽
This is a largely impoverished area, but people are mostly honest, dignified, and happy you've made such an effort to visit. Prices are low. Food is bland, but Barahona has a good, safe bar scene (signs warn customers to check their arms at the door). Motorcyclists will take you anywhere in town for 25 pesos (September 2017).
如何抵達
1 María Montez International Airport (BRX IATA). Safe, scenic, cheap daily bus service (3 hours) from Santo Domingo. Ask for "Barahona" lot. Some stops at clean service areas along the way, with good meals. The CaribeTours bus terminal in Santo Domingo (27 de Febrero and Avenida Leopoldo Navarro) has 4 buses departing daily to Barahona and costs 500 pesos (2025). The buses are express service and have cold air conditioning and usually functioning wifi. Another cheaper bus service leaves down the street from Caribetours (27 de Febrero and Calle La Filantropica) and will pick up/ drop off passengers along the way to Barahona every hour from 7am - 7pm, 250 pesos (September 2017).
當地交通
For 25 pesos (September 2017), a motoconcho will take you almost anywhere in the city. You can walk anywhere you need to go, but the heat will be intense.
體驗活動
Visit the town beach. It's not Ipanema, but it's relaxing with spectacular views. However, it is full of trash. The Malecon - follows the sea, but not much along it.
美食
You didn't come to remote Barahona for the cuisine, did you? Satisfactory (at best) cafe and hotel food is available. There's a cafe around the corner from the bus station to Santo Domingo with decent prices and decent food. Venezuelan Restaurant - delicious food for really good prices. A block away from the central park. Pala Pizza Pollo Rey El Tunel - next to the central park.
飲品與夜生活
Good, cheap bars in the town center. People-watching is the main entertainment. Some bars are located down the Malecon about a .5 miles away.
