Travel to Salinas from the Guayaquil airport (and back)

[KEVIN MANN]

We are planning a trip to Salinas and wondering how best (safely and inexpensively) to get from the airport in Guayaquil to Salinas, and then back again at the end of our stay. I can be pretty sure that there are buses available, but I don’t know if they leave from the airport or from a different location. Would it be a good idea to arrange for over-night accommodations in Guayaquil instead of trying to get all the way to Salinas in one day? Any experienced advice would be welcome.

Getting to Salinas from Guayaquil doesn’t take that long… maybe 2.5 hours so depending on what time you arrive you should be able to get there easily enough. You can take a bus, but yes, I don’t think the buses leave from the airport. You could also rent a car, if you like, and/or hire a driver to take you to Salinas ($60-$100). One English-speaking driver you might try is Will Rodriguez: willienavy70@gmail.com; cell: 098-699-2334. A friend recommends him, I have not tried him myself.

Let me see if I can find more info for you.
