    Lots of security around who are very helpful steering you in the right direction. It can be a bit confusing with three levels and so many bus companies requiring you to buy your tickets from different ticket windows depending on where you are going. If you don't know where you're supposed to go just ask...no problem. Even if you don't speak Spanish, just state your destination. There's a food court, a toy store, other shops and lots of snacks available from vendors. Super convenient location right next to the airport. Keep your valuables on your lap...not on the floor.

    It's very difficult to find the place you need for your ticket Don't short change yourself on time. If you miss your bud, not to worry, they go everywhere hourly

    Good food court and lots of services. The staff are also pretty nice. Bathrooms are free but don't have toilet paper or soap so be sure to bring your own.

    A lot of coffee shops and some other food places if you need to grab something to eat. Expensive though. The ticket purchasing offices are on the bottom floor and the andens of the buses are on first and second floors. The exit to the lane where u border the bus costs 25 cents and you the bathroom is only located on the inside part

  • 5/5 Marito H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. They renewed some places... it's a cheap way to find transporation that gets you to different provinces of Ecuador.

  • 5/5 Virginia B. 1 year ago on Google
    The best of Ecuador since it is attached to the shopping mall where you can eat in a food court and do something while waiting to take the bus or before going to the airport.

  • 4/5 Gordon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent food court and a well organized bus station. Lots of different shops selling all kinds of things.

  • 3/5 Robert M. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rosa C. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Carlos V. 3 months ago on Google New
    A truly amazing place!!! ...far more than just a bus terminal, it is worth a visit just to walk around!! ...The only problem is NO BEER at night for those trapped there waiting for a night bus... probably sensible really! lol... but it gave me a good walk, as next door is the airport, that I walked to, and had a beer... or Two! horrid price, but worth it! Airport grounds are HUGE! It was several km just to get into the place lol!! But Terminal... Buses drive in on several levels, it has a large shopping centro, and huge food court, and open free central cinema for all, and good security, as I didn't get accosted once by anyone asking for money, see my passport (even in Germany I did! A reported to the next police I saw!) No problemas. And there are various other areas to the place, inc a MASSIVE!!!!!!! Bridge that is nice to walk across and see lots more from high up! ...and if not travelling out of Guayaquil, try the big outdoor market to one side. In all, after the horror stories you read about Guayaquil... I found it a very safe, friendly and lovely place to visit... lil me, never travelled alone before, had lived for years in a tiny UK village, then BOOM! A city of 2 million, alone... I LOVED IT! So much I didn't just change bus there 3x more during my travels around Ecuador, but stayed in Guayaquil, and always loved spending time in TERMINAL! I think this (crazy accidental effect) pic I took from the MASSIVE!!!!! bridge! But it was near a decade ago! ...Wow! Imagine what the place is like now!! ...I'll be back!

    Crean, big and organized. This land terminal is one of the best I've visited. There are many stores where you can buy food, clothes, souvenirs and many more things. There are 2 floors where you take your bus, so be sure which floor you are assigned to. Inside the land terminal is a bit hectic, so be cautious. Outside, there is usually a wait line, so be sure to arrive with some time to spare.

  • 4/5 Yves L. 4 months ago on Google
    Another beautiful mall with a plethora of stores.

  • 5/5 Juan Felipe J. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best terminals of passengers in Ecuador and used by thousands of people every day

  • 5/5 Evelyn L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's the biggest and the most organized bus station that I've ever been to. Impressed

  • 4/5 Hussein D. 1 year ago on Google
    Huuuuuge shopping center and bus terminal, but the different bus zones and how to find them can be confusing for tourists!

  • 5/5 Andy S. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed there for a couple of hours since we had to wait for our bus to Quito. The bus terminal provides you with free wifi, lots of possibilities to eat (cheap), lots of shops and there were many security people which made us feel safe at all times. Actuay it feels like a shopping big mall where you can easily spend 2-3 hours and have a nice meals waiting for your bus.

  • 5/5 Rita B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not our first visit, staff is always friendly and helpful. Lots of food options and shops.

  • 4/5 Gustavo C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great place. Many buses can be taken here to go to every part of the country and abroad.

  • 5/5 Jimmy B. 2 years ago on Google
    The biggest bus Depot I have ever seen! It is more like an airport. There are busses to just about anywhere you can think of. Very crowded though...

  • 4/5 Cesar P. 2 years ago on Google
    I would like to reopening 24/7

  • 5/5 J-P T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very big with busses to all the places you can think off! There are also ticket offices on the 1st and 2nd floor (for example bus to Montañita is on the 2nd floor).

  • 5/5 Juan Guiracocha P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Haru V. 2 years ago on Google
    Usefull, but not so well organised

  • 1/5 Bryant A. 2 years ago on Google
    Got mugged, so freaking safe.

  • 5/5 George B. 4 years ago on Google
    The best bus terminal anywhere. Supermarket, Pharmacy, walking distance to airport and ID/Birth certificates issued on the spot by the “Registro Civil”. A benchmark for other bus stations around the world

  • 4/5 Eoin C. 3 years ago on Google
    No complaints. Lots of shops and cafe's. I found a pharmacy with a fridge selling pure coconut water in a plastic bottle without preservatives added in. Was very tasty and cheap, and was nice to pass the time with healthy food and drink options.

  • 3/5 Karl F. 2 years ago on Google
    Obviously essential for bus trips out of Guayaquil but it's very crowded and toilets leave a lot to be desired. Decent range of eating options and shops but can be hard to find a table sometimes. Certainly a good place for people watching and has everything you need in a bus terminal. That said for most people its probably a place to just get your bus and go.
