Moving Around
Regardless of your final destination there is a bus terminal in every town with different companies for almost everywhere in the Country.
Comfortable buses link the major towns, but for the road conditions you should figure an average speed of 50Km/per hour for your trip.
Smaller buses serve villages and suburbs. However should no public transportation be available, you always can hire a taxi or a car with driver, or else rent a car for a day or more (make sure you had and international driving licence issued in your country before leaving).
It is also possible to fly to and from main cities within the country.
