airport to city of Caracas transport

by tarda

The transfer fees are high at Caracas, an official taxi will request around 200 bolivaras, Bus transfer of Gran Melia Caracas Hotel was 240 bolivaras from hotel to airport. But there is an alternative to them; Siska Bus. It cost 6 Bolivaras from airport to Caracas ALBA Hotel and the same from the hotel to airport. From there you may take metro to the place you would like to go. They have bus day time nearly every hour. From the airport they leave about 60 meter behind the place you take taxi.Also these Siska Buses are working throught the Venezuella, I took a bus from Caracas to Maracay but after leaving ALBA to have some extra passangers they stopped at the terminal of Caracas, they waited nearly 1 hour there. At the end all passanger left the bus and complained the people in the office, so they let the bus to go without filling all the seats. For transfer to the airport I suggest this...

From San Antonio to Pamplona (Colombia)

by MalenaN

Before you leave Venezuela you must pay the departure tax and get the exit stamp in your passport from the DIEX office in San Antonio (you don’t get it at the border). The office is situated on Carrera 9, between Calle 6 and 7. I arrived at the office at 6.50 in the morning and first paid the departure tax (46 BsF in July 2008) in a shop on the opposite side of the street. After getting the exit stamp I walked the five blocks down to Avenida Venezuela. A lot of people were walking over the border in both directions, but there were no one who asked for the passports. When I had crossed the bridge and had arrived in Colombia I couldn’t see the building where to get my entry stamp. I asked a police man and he pointed to a big white house, down a road I had already passed. The office is on the right side if you come from Venezuela.Well it is easy to miss the immigration/emigration office in...

From Caracas to Cuzco (Peru)

by batman47

I will be in Caracas (Venezuela) in November 2008 and I expect to travel using my own car to Rio Branco (Brazil). I see that it is possible to travel to Manaus and I wonder if I can do the journey to Rio Braco near the Peruvian border. From there I would like to go to Puerto Maldonado (Peru) and Cuzco (Peru) to visit Machupicho.My car is 4x4. Any information highly appreciated.

From Santa Marta (Colombia) to Maracaibo

by MalenaN

I took a taxi from Casa Familiar to the terminal in Santa Marta and it was 4000 pesos (August 2008). Brasilia Expresos had a bus to Maicao at 7am for 20 000 pesos. The bus arrived at 7.15 and it was a small comfortable bus. It took four hours to Maicao and I had not even left the bus before men started to call Maracaibo, Maracaibo. Before going to Venezuela I wanted to change my Colombian pesos for Venezuelan Bolivares and that you can do in an office inside the terminal (It is a better rate here than the money changers have at the border in Paraguachon).I took a shared taxi to Maracaibo and there was only one other passenger, a woman. The taxi was 23 000 pesos or 40 Bs (August 2008). The other passenger didn’t have to get a stamp in her passport so as I went inside the immigration office on the Colombian side the driver said they were driving on to the Venezuelan side because there were...

Buy national plane ticket in Caracas

by vivacolombia

If you want to buy your ticket for the following day to go to Canaima/other domestic destination ensure yourself that there's a departure on THAT day. Otherwise, Venezuelians dont plan their trip as we do. They buy their plane ticket right before departure. Which means that you should be fine.In March, the dollar on the black market fell dramatically (funny huh!!) and we could get 4200/1$ at the beginning and then, 3900/1$ and sometimes 3500/1$ Don't hesitate to negotiate :) It's a business even if it's informal. Try to change money before buying your plane ticket and pay it in cash

From Caracas to Canaima

by vivacolombia

My question is do you have a full package in Canaima meaning an excursion, a night and maybe the food included in the price you mention.Otherwise, we did Caracas/Puerto Ordaz for 150$ FOR TWO PEOPLE in late february of this year...My first recommendation would be:1) exchange money on the black market (instead of exchanging 1$ for 2400bolivares you may be able to find 1$ for 4000bolivares) which would divide your total price by42) it's true that venezuela is really expensive (especially if you use the official xchange rate) but the 500$ seems REALLY outrageous for just a flight between caracas and canaima3)have you contacted other tour agencies?? try to find ADRENALINA (in ciudad bolivar) they organize tours in canaima. I went with them to rio caura and they were fantastic. Guillermo is amazing and speaks really good english as he lived many years in the states :)hope that helps

Air France to Caracas

by amapola66

Christmas '07 the Little Rock Chic, myself & the 'Psychedelic Clarinet Player' flew to Caracas with Air France via Paris to visit the family. Traveling this way was preferable to the KLM route to Aruba because Air France treated us better. We got up very early in our hotel for the 4 am check in, however check in staff didn't breeze in until 5.30 am Hmm could've had another hour in bed! The feeling was this was a regular occourance so there's a tip for you. The flight was delayed & we sat on the plane for over an hour once boarded (also a common so they say).Connection to our jumbo at CDG was hellish. They bossily ushered us onto a bus that took us the wrong way round to our gate. Tip - make your own way there, if you are a smoker you may even grab a chance for a quick ciggy. Security on transefrs takes an age, better to go into the terminal and walk (if you can) & enter security the...

Aeroexpressos Ejecutives Between Cities

by atufft

In general, Venezuela has an excellent bus system with a multiple of companies. Most of these companies provide service from a central bus terminal within a given city, although Caracas has more than one. Most routes within Venezuela can be completed in one day, although a few, such as between Caracas and Merida, or Caracas and Puerto Ayacucho will be overnight. One company is highly regarded for the quality of service, being somewhat more expensive and oriented toward Venezuelan middle and upper middle class clientel. For North Americans and European wanting to travel between the major metropolitan destinations within Venezuela, Aeroexpressos Ejecutivos is highly recommended. Their services are daily between a limited set of cities. For travel to Puerto Ayacucho, Ciudad Bolivar, and Merida, another bus company will be required, however. Try the link below for this companies schedules,...

CARACAS: PIRATAS TAXIS

by swesn

All over Caracas (and perhaps Venezuela in total), there are 'piratas' (or pirated taxis).These car-owners simply stick a sign [Taxi] and hook up with those stretchable ropes with hooks on their side windows and Voila!Prices for taxis have to be negotiated beforehand. That makes it very expensive for tourists as we never know the right price... and believe me, from my experience, it is very expensive for me.When I got out of the *very dodgy and crazy* bus terminal of Caracas, I was accosted by numerous touts, some rather aggressive. One finally brought me to a waiting taxi. It seems that the waiting taxis pay these touts a price to find them a customer. However, the taxi driver, although he had negotiated a rate for me through the tout, tried to charge me extra for the tout fee that he had just forked out. The nerve... I refused.At night, the taxi price really increases. Well, if...

LONG-DISTANCE BUSES ARE FREEZING COLD

by swesn

When the Venezuelans travel on Venezuelan night buses, they bring along their entire winter-gear, from gloves to woollen hats to fleece jackets to warm blankets. Yes, it is always WINTER in Venezuelan buses! Crazy blasting air-conditioners! Frrrrreeeezzzzzing cold! Come prepared, wrapped in your sweater, long pants, hat and if possible, tuck yourself into your sleeping bag!!
