Azogues is very easy to get to. The city is located just off the Panamericana. All busses going north from Cuenca (i.e. to Quito and Riobamba) can drop you off at the entrance. If you are coming in from Cuenca, you can also catch a direct bus to Azogues, which will take you into the small busterminal.
Regional busses all leave from the busterminal.
