Once in Sánchez, transfer to another 'carro público' heading towards Samaná. Inform the driver that you are going to Caño Frío, and they will drop you off at the nearest point.

  For a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi from your location in Samaná Peninsula. Negotiate a fare beforehand; the cost from Las Terrenas to Caño Frío should be around 1,500 to 2,000 DOP depending on your starting point and the taxi service. This is the most convenient option if you prefer door-to-door service without the hassle of transfers.
