Ecuador: Facts & Stats

TRANSPORTATION

Roads:

Ecuador has a network of national highways maintained by the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Comunicaciones (Ministry of Public Works and Communication). The Pan-American Highway connects the northern and southern portions of the country as well as connecting Ecuador with Colombia to the north and Peru to the south.

The quality of roads, even on truck routes, is highly variable. There is an extensive network of intercity buses that use these mountain roads and highways. The most modern Ecuadorian Highway connects Guayaquil with Salinas.

Railroads:

The Interandean Railroad connects Quito with Cotopaxi and Ambato with Alausí. (The portion of the line between Cotopaxi and Ambato is no longer operational).

The Empresa de Ferrocarriles Ecuatorianos (EFE) (Ecuadorian Railways Company) is the national railway of Ecuador. The railway system was devised to connect the Pacific coast with the Andean highlands. After many decades of service the railway was severely damaged by the El Nino in 1997 and 1998 and general neglect. Major sections of the railroad have become inoperative and the Guayaquil-Quito service has ceased, see Trans-Andean Railways.
