Moving On From San Salvador
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 Basilica de Guadalupe. Buses east and north leave from the Terminal de Oriente on Blvd del Ejercito Nacional, east of El Centro. Buses to Usulutan, 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 Espana, 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 Union , 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.
