Getting There

If you are traveling independently from Quito:

- take a bus to Riobamba from the Quitumbe terminal, in the south of Quito (about 3 hours and a half, it costs about $ 4,00)
- once you are at the terminal in Riobamba, take a taxi (about 1,50 $) to the interparroquial terminal where you can take a bus to the junction of Mancheno (about 10 km after Cajabamba, the closest town to the community)
- at Mancheno you will find private cars that will take you up to Esperanza for $ 3,00


Alternatively, from the same Quitumbe terminal you can take a bus to Cuenca and get off at the Mancheno Junction. Cost may be slightly higher.


On request we can arrange a direct private transfer from the Riobamba terminal ($ 20,00).
