• From Airport - Drive south through town, take the coastal highway south (that leads to Puerto Cayo, Puerto Lopez etc). Do not get off the main highway at San Mateo, continue 1 km more and you will come to a white and blue water tower just before Los Sauces. Turn right and follow the signs to Santa Marianita.
• By Bus - Coming from the south (Montanita, Puerto Lopez, Puerto Cayo), ask the driver to let you off at the blue and white water tower in Los Sauces just south of Manta. From here, grab a camioneta (little white truck for $0.50) to Santa Marianita. If you are in Manta, hire a camioneta from the market (Mercado Central) near the bus station to take you to Santa Marianita $1.00, or have any southbound bus drop you at the water tower and grab a camioneta from there.
• By Car - From the coastal highway head toward the ocean at the blue and white water tower in Los Sauces just south of Manta and follow the signs to Santa Marianita.
• By Taxi - Tell the driver to take you to Santa Marianita. $10.00 from the bus station, $15.00 from the airport.
