I can get a taxi from Quito to Riobamba for $70 and a bus for $4. Why does transportation through Cachamsi cost more than this?
Please see the Transportation section for a more complete explanation, but it comes down to safety of drivers and students, and flexibility of availability. We know our drivers. We tell them not to pass on curves… It’s the Andes. We encourage students to tell us if they think our drivers are being safe, so we can make them better. 16. Do I need a visa to participate? No. Only a passport is needed. However, if you wish to stay more than 3 months, you must request an extension from the Ecuadorian government. Participants have stayed up to 6 months in the past without any issues.
