Follow this road until you reach the intersection with the E28 road. Take the exit toward Quito. Continue on E28, passing through towns like La Libertad and Salinas. As you approach Quito, look for signs indicating 'Aguarico'. Once in Aguarico, use the coordinates QFHG+X38 (latitude: -0.2200933, longitude: -78.524799) to guide you to Huesos de Buda. Parking is usually available nearby.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Huesos de Buda using public transportation, first, take a bus from your location in the Coastal Lowlands to the city of Quito. Buses frequently depart from major towns such as La Libertad and Salinas. The bus fare typically ranges from $2 to $5 USD. Upon arriving at the Quito bus terminal, transfer to a local bus that heads toward Aguarico. Again, check the fare, which should be around $1 USD. Disembark at the Aguarico stop, and from there, use a taxi or walk to the coordinates QFHG+X38 (latitude: -0.2200933, longitude: -78.524799) to find Huesos de Buda.
