Position approx: town pier (Muelle) as mapped on OpenStreetMap. Show your despacho from your last port to the Navy; Immigration checks passports. Request your despacho to Los Haitises here, stating how many days (Virgintino guide ~2015). A bank with ATMs is across the street from the main jetty, with an internet café and laundry a block behind. Puerto Bahía Marina also lists customs and immigration services for its guests.
