About the buses time . They are not in Internet. You should ask in the town you are or in the bus station and they will tell you . Anyway they are pretty constant . Each 1 hr and a half you have one . Take care who you ask. Better if they work in the bus station. There are other people who will maybe tell you " there is not anymore buses . I take you for ...usd " . Keep asking because there are buses. Make sure to come early . Better in the morning or midday. From 5 pm will be hard to find buses . Sometimes the last ones are at 4.30 pm. So our advice is try to leave early .
Try to pay in cordobas and small bills.
