Flight
Ecuador has two international airports in Quito (UIO) and Guayaquil (GYE). From either one you can either take a short flight to Cuenca’s domestic airport (CUE) or take a bus or buseta (private van - 3-4 hours from Guayaquil → Cuenca or 8-10 hours from Quito). Flights can be found on Kayak or through other flight search engines. Bus and buseta information can be obtained locally once you arrive. We recommend booking flights as soon as possible - there are some great deals to be found several months in advance of your travel dates! You will need a current passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your travel dates.
