How to get out Santo Domingo (Venezuela)
There are two main options for leaving Santo Domingo. The first and the cheapest is to go into the main commercial street, next to a pink building that has a big sign "Hospedaje" and wait for a bus for Mérida to pass. Wave them down as they pass. It is 35 bolivares from there. Buses start passing around 6 in the morning, and go throughout the day every hour or so. There is also a bus stop across from the local emergency room. If you go to Barinas the best way is to wait the bus at Plaza Bolivar, it is the last bus stop and the returning point for them, it is the only direct bus line Barinas-Santo Domingo, they scheduled every two hours, the last one at 5 pm.
Also, you can take a taxi in the center plaza to Apartaderos where there is a proper bus terminal. The tourist office told me it should be about 8 or 9 bs if you are going with at least three people. The taxi driver quoted me 40 bolivares, probably because I was a foreigner but that is still not a bad price. From there you can buy a bus ticket to Mérida or Valera as well.
