To get to the
airport
, Taxis Acacya leave from their office in El Centro at 6am, 7am, 10am and 2pm (about 1hr; US$3). Remember that there is a departure tax (US$28) on international flights.
Scores of companies run
domestic buses
from a number of different terminals. Heading
west
, they leave from the
Terminal de Occidente
on Blvd Venezuela, west of El Centro; all of these also pick up and drop off on the Carretera Interamericana at the BasAlica de Guadalupe. Buses
east
and
north
leave from the
Terminal de Oriente
on Blvd del EjA©rcito Nacional, east of El Centro. Buses to
UsulutA?n, Zacatecoluca, Costa del Sol
and
San Pedro Nonualco
leave from the
Terminal del Sur
, about 8km from El Centro on the airport highway (city bus #26 from Av EspaA±a, by the Catedral Metropolitana, runs to the terminal). A number of faster "
directo
" buses, run by various companies, leave from the
Terminal de Oriente
for cities and towns further
east
. These are pullman-style, stop less often and are slightly more expensive. For
San Miguel
and
La UniA?n
, buses leave every hour on the hour between 6am and 4pm; for
Santa Rosa de Lima
, they run every hour on the half-hour.
Tickets
, however - as on standard buses - are not normally bought in advance; to be sure of getting a seat, turn up well before the bus leaves. Other useful information
