In general there are two places to grab the bus when leaving Juayuá. If you are heading south towards Sonsonate or north towards Ahuachapán then your buses will arrive and depart from right across from the Scotia Bank (see map). If you are headed to Santa Ana then the bus stops just one block south of Hotel Anahúac (see map)

To/from Santa Ana 

Take bus 238. It takes about 1.5hrs and costs $0.80. Buses heading to Santa Ana leave at the corner of Calle Mercedes Pte and 5a Av Sur (see map).

Cerroverde, Izalco and Santa Ana Volcanos.

Head to Santa Ana on the 238 bus. Change to the Terminal de buses Vencedora and get the 248. The bus leaves at 7:30am and returns back to Santa Ana at 3pm and 4pm  ($0.90).

To/from the beach: La Libertad, El Tunco, Sunzal, El Zonte, La Mizata

To get to Juayuá from the beach, your best option is to take the direct 287 bus to Sonsonate which leaves from La Libertad and passes the entrance to these beaches. This bus runs only twice per day leaving La Libertad at 6am and 1:30pm. From Sonsonate you then change to the 249 bus to Ahuachapán, which will pass Juayuá.  This bus can depart La Libertad early so best be at your stop a little bit early.

Heading back to the beach you can grab the 249 bus from Juayuá to Sonsonate and then change to the 287 heading to La Libertad. This bus also only leaves Sonsonate twice per day at 6am and 3:30pm so you have to time your trip accordingly.

If you don’t make the 287 then you can head to San Salvador first.  No need to change stations in San Salvador as they both arrive and depart from Terminal de Occidente.

to/from Guatemala

If you are coming from Guatemala through La Hachadura you need to take the  259 bus heading to Sonsonate and change buses to the 249 heading to Ahuachapán and get off at Juayúa.  If you are coming from Las Chinamas you will head to Ahuachapan and then head south to Sonsonate.
