How to Travel from Quito Airport to Otavalo & Quito | Frugal Ecuador Bus Guide

Описание: 🌎 Visit this related webpage for more tips and greater detail about using the Quito airport buses: https://fastfreds.com/travel/ecuador/...

Frugal and wise travelers looking for safe transportation from the Quito airport (Mariscal Sucre) would be wise not to overlook public transportation options. This strategy allows you to skip the $15–$30 taxi "gringo tax" and travel like the locals for just a few dollars. Whether you are heading into the city or navigating toward Otavalo, the local bus system is efficient, safe, and offers far better views of the breathtaking mountains and valleys.

In this guide, I break down the logistics of navigating Terminal Carcelén and Terminal Quitumbe. Buses to the city of Quito operate from 6 AM to 10 PM, while buses to the terminals for onward travel operate from 6 AM to 8:30 PM. I recently made this trip coming from Panama City, paying just $2 for the airport bus and $4 for my ticket to Otavalo—proving once again that you don't need to be wealthy to live a rich life and experience authentic cultural immersion.
