POP airport transfer to Santiago

What Santiago means on this price list

Santiago is the country's second city, about 75 km south of the airport on the other side of the mountain ridge. It is not a beach destination: people ride there for family visits, the Monumento a los Héroes and the Centro León, hospital and clinic appointments, business in the free-trade zones, baseball at the Estadio Cibao, and for the university. The same rate covers Cibao International Airport (STI) on the city's edge, which is the main reason this run gets booked — a POP arrival with an onward domestic or Caribbean flight out of STI. The road climbs out of Puerto Plata and can be slow behind trucks on the grade, so we plan the run on the longer end of the estimate rather than the shorter one.
