Every 30 minutes there is a bus connection with San Vicente. From here you will need to take a boat across the mouth of the Chone river to get to Bahia de Caraquez. You can either jump on the car ferry free or pay a small fare to go across in one of the small motor boats which leave from the jetties. From Bahia 4 busses daily leave to Quito two in the morning (6:30AM, 9AM and two in the evening).There are now direct buses to Quito and guayaquil to and from Canoa.There is also a bus route up the coast to Pedernales. The Sundown Inn web site has excellent maps of Canoa and the region.
There is a new bridge from BahÃa de Caráquez and San Vicente Motor and walkman.
