FROM THE AIRPORT

Taxi:  If you have arranged for your hotel to pick you up, look for a sign with your name in the sea of faces outside Customs. There is also a curb-side limousine desk where you can hire a car to send you to any hotel for US$5. Airport taxi drivers customarily offer their services for the entire visit at between US$20 and US$25 a day.

Motorcycle taxi:  A “moto” is a good option if you are travelling light and well-insured. The charge is US$1.
