In direction north: Get a bus ''Going south from the "Carcelen"-Terminal in the very north heading ether Quito, I arrived to Cayambe/Otavalo/Ibarra/Tulcan. Get out at the first "peáje"(Toll-Station)terminal Quitumbe. The There is possible to take a bus will need 15min., $to Tumbillo for 0,255 USD which is on Panamericana. There you can easily ask for lifts But I walked in the direction northof Panamericana by Avenida Mariscal Sucre and started to hitch there, it took me 3 cars (including one lift from a taxi) and a bit more than 1 hour to get to Tumbillo, where was a good spot to hitch further'' -[[User:che.apelsin|che.apelsin]]
===South===:''Got the bus to Tumbillo and talked to people at the petrol station, easy to hitchhike'' - [[User:HoboSpirit|HoboSpirit]]
In direction south: If youre in the centre, there are two posibilities. == External links ==* Get the trole-bus to the "Quitumbre"-Terminal in the very south, from there catch any bus in direction south and get out at any point of the Panamericana. The first "peáje" ist quite far ($0,75), so it is probably better to get out before (for example in Tumbillo, there is a gas station).* Go to "El trebol" (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, final station of the Ecovia-bus). From there catch a bus in direction Tumbillo/Machachi and get out in Tumbillo (~$0,50). There is a gas station nearby.[[wikipedia:CITY|Wikipedia]]

'''Quito''' is the capital of [[Ecuador]].
__TOC__ ==Hitchhiking Outout == === North towards [[Tulcan]], [[Colombia]] === Get a bus from the Carcelen-Terminal in the very north heading towards [[Cayambe]], [[Otavalo]], [[Ibarra]], or [[Tulcan]]. Get out at the first "peáje"([[Toll-Station]]). The bus will take 15min. (If you take one of the buses from the terminal heading to a city further north, they'll charge at least $1, but if you walk about 1km down the road to the bridge, you can get a local bus for $.35, as of March 2015.) There you can easily ask for lifts going north. === North-West towards La Mitts del Mundo, [[Mindo]] === Take a bus to the neighborhood of Carcelén. From there, you can walk east to reach the avenue Simon Bolívar. Start hitchhiking there, as there is several good spots at the roundabouts. === South towards [[Ambato]], [[Cuenca]], [[Loja]], [[Guayaquil]], [[Peru]]===There are two options:* Get the trole-bus to the '''Quitumbe-Terminal''' in the very south, from there catch any bus in direction south and get out at any point of the Panamericana. The first "peáje" ist quite far ($0,75), so it is probably better to get out before (for example in Tumbillo, there is a gas station).* Go to '''El trebol''' (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, final station of the Ecovia-bus). From there catch a bus in direction Tumbillo/Machachi and get out in Tumbillo (~$0,50). There is a gas station nearby. == Public transportation ===== Blackriding ===The turnstiles at the exits of the stations for the rapid transit buses seem to often not lock (maybe the couple I tried were just broken) so you can just walk in the exit. There do not appear to be ticket controls on the buses.
===North=Personal Experiences ==:''I arrived very late at night, and this was the first time I got a ride without asking for one. The cops pulled over and asked me what the hell I was doin walking in that neighborhood and was I crazy? They gave me a ride to my friend's place.'' -[[User:Chael777|Chael777]]
