The country has two international airports, Mariscal Sucre of Quito and Simon Bolivar of Guayaquil. The airport in Quito is the major port of entry in Ecuador, reporting the highest traffic. International airlines operate from both of these air terminals to North, Central, South America and Europe. Likewise, there are other airports for domestic flights in Cuenca, Manta (passengers and international air cargo), Machala, Esmeraldas, Tulcan (with connecting flights to Cali, Colombia), Loja, Pastaza and Macas. The Galapagos Islands have two small airports in the Islands of Baltra and San Cristobal, which offer local flights to and from the continent (Guayaquil). The airlines covering domestic routes are Tame and Aerogal. There are also some private lines offering charter flights. American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Iberia, Avensa/Servivensa, Taca, KLM, Avianca, Aces, Aerocontinente and Lan Chile are some of the international airlines that operate in Ecuador. International air cargo companies use airport facilities at Quito, Guayaquil and Manta. Ecuador has four major ports: Guayaquil (in Guayas) handles most of the country’s imports and exports; Manta (in Manabi) is undergoing rapid growth due to coffee, cacao and other exports, and it also frequently docks international cruise lines; Esmeraldas (in Esmeraldas) is the chief oil export terminal, and Bolivar (El Oro), was considered for quite some time as the country’s second major port due to the volume of cargo it moves, particularly bananas. There are several land transportation companies that cover the entire country. Travelling by land is a good alternative to get to know Ecuador well, including its tourist attractions, the way of life of its people, its culture and idiosyncrasies. Most large cities or provincial capitals have bus terminals. Another alternative is to rent a car. Budget, Avis, Ecuacar and Hertz have offices in Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. The Ecuadorian railroad system has limited infrastructure, focused on the northeastern route of Quito-Ibarra-San Lorenzo. However, there is also the southern route which offers an unforgettable journey around the famous Nariz del Diablo (Devil’s Nose). This is one of the favorite sites of visitors crossing the Ecuadorian Andes.
