Driving from Santo Domingo to Sosua can be challenging. First of all it is over a 4 hour drive. The road once outside of the city limits of Santo Domingo to Santiago is quite nice, however driving in Santo Domingo can be quite confusing for a first time visitor to the island. The best advice I can give you is , 1st the larger vehicle have the right of way, 2nd there are no rules. .

DIRECTION TO DRIVE FROM SANTO DOMINGO TO SOSUA

(The following direction assumes that you have read and understand the links to the map provided on this page)

From "Las Americas" airport, following the avenue that says "Al Aeropuerto, boca chica, playas del este", just above the "PARQUE MIRADOR DEL ESTE", then, follow that road you will cross the Ozama river through the DUARTE bridge, Then, see after crossing the bridge it becomes "Av. 27 de Febrero", ok, check on the map you will see that after the bridge you need to follow that avenue (27 de Febrero), and then there is a cross at Av. San Martin, well there you that street until the Kennedy Avenue.

That is the way out from Santo Domingo to Sosua, ... if you get lost what you need to do is take the JFK Avenue to the west, to Santiago, if you get lost in the city there are many avenues that you can take that will take you to the JFK avenue, just  ask anyone about how to take the Kennedy Avenue and the Duarte Highway to Santiago.

Bottomline: Get to the JFK avenue and head west, to SANTIAGO (2nd city in the country)

Ok once you're on that avenue you will follow it, it will become a freeway, that will take you after two hours to a city called Santiago.

Ok, so you will be getting into Santiago find Estrella Sadhala Avenue, (RIGHT), to "To Puerto Plata-Navarrete" ... and that is the way out of the City to Santiago.

Again if you get lost in the city, ask anyone how to take the Estrella Sadhala Avenue to Puerto Plata.

Ok you will get to a freeway again, look for a sign (very small) at that interface (freeway over/under pass) you will see a sign "To Puerto Plata".

Then follow that road, you will get into Puerto Plata, and then, half an hour from Puerto Plata, you will find sosua.

In Sosua, the place is just behind the Popular Bank, what you need to do is this.

Entering Sosua, you will find a big supermarket (the Playero) ... on the next turn, at the gas station, turn left ... you will be on the bar street (Pedro Calisante), ... turn left again once you pass all the bars and at this corner to you are able to turn RIGHT do so, this corner is near a smaller Playero supermarket and the PJ's Bar,. then a 100 meters later you will see the "Banco Popular" ... (if you get lost just ask directions on how to get to the Popular Bank) and then there is a small alley that goes down the hill at the Popular Banks left. At the end of that street you will see Perla de Sosua Hotel.
