Flight Connections

Ecuador has two major airports. Quito & Guayaquil, the  latter being the one to the south near the coast; with comfortable bus  service around the corner from the airport taking you to Manta in about 3  ½ hours. Several hotels are within a few minutes of the airport via a  taxi ride. 

Quito's new  airport is located about 45 minutes from downtown. If you have never  been to Ecuador, it may be advisable to spend a few days to see the many  sights. You can take a Taxi for around $30.00; there is also a bus  service that will take you to the old airport, now the bus terminal,which is close to some major hotels. Some hotels will arrange to pick  you up from there, inquire when you book, or a few dollars for taxi.

There are frequent flights from Quito to Manta,  a short 40-minute flight. Busses also travel frequently, but it is an  10-hour trip, however you will see the countryside  with the change of  scenery from the sierra to the coast! 

Note for our Canadian clients - started  in December 2019, direct flights from Toronto to Quito by AirCanada.

As of spring 2023, Manta Airport is now an International hub, with Copa Airlines and others via Panama connecting major cities in the USA and Europe.
