Most international travelers to Ecuador will arrive by air in either Quito or Guayaquil.

Quito's Marsical Sucre International Airport is located roughly 8km from the Quito city center and there are shuttle buses to the city as well as reasonably priced taxis. Several major hotels also provide direct shuttle services to and from the airport.

Guayaquil's Simon Bolivar International Airport is also located just a few kilometers from the city, which can be reached by bus or taxi.

Several International carriers fly into Ecuador and inter-city air travel within the country is common and affordable.

Car rental services are provided by a number of companies, but for travel outside the major cities, four wheel drive vehicles may be necessary. The roads in Ecuador are right-hand drive, as they are throughout most of South America.
