From Europe

by MalenaN

I flew with Lufthansa to Caracas (Air France and Al Italia are other companies flying to Caracas) and the journey from Frankfurt took about 10 hours. On the plane both lunch and dinner was served, and a small sandwich or cake in between. When we arrived in Caracas (14.40) Al Italia also arrived. There was a lot of people going through the immigrations (I think I queued almost half an hour), so make sure you have all the papers ready, including the forms you were given in the airplane. As you go out of the customs you will find an information desk to your left, and the airport bus is just outside the main entrance.

From Coro to Taganga (Colombia) in one day

by MalenaN

As I was going to change transport several times and cross the border I left the posada in Coro already at 6am. I found a taxi without walking too far, it was 5000 pesos to the bus terminal. At the terminal I decided to take a por puesto (shared taxi) to Maracaibo instead of the bus because it is faster. Not until 7.30 did the car get full so we could leave and about halfway we stopped to eat. The por puesto to Maracaibo was 30 000 Bs and took 3,5 hours.As we arrived in Maracaibo I was immediately taken to another por puesto that was going to cross the border to Maicao in Colombia. It was also 30 000 Bs and it took 3 hours to Maicao. There were several police checkpoints along the way to the border. As we came to the first police the driver turned around and asked for money. I think he first asked for money from me and one of the man (but I‘m not sure he wanted me to pay as well). I had...

Gasoline is cheap...

by Bogi15

If you rent a car, there are to extremly good thing about that, the gasoline is cheap and also are the highways. We had a vehicle that goes on diesel and the liter was 48 Bs. Now the official exchange rate was 1$-2.100 Bs, the non-official was 1$-3.200 Bs. Now do your math.1$ - 60 liters of diesel. Normal gas was about double, so 1$ - over 30 liters of gasoline.The hightways was some 100 Bs.Now you know why they still have coins, only for gas and highways.

In Venezuela

by uchi2000

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.... in Venezuela (mostly near the Caracas airport) the stops for traffic/ rush hours... are very long stops, depending on the time and lenght you will need to adjust your schedule beetwen 1.5hrs. to 3.0 hrs. to get to somewhere.Lets say if you need to go to an office in downtown Caracas and you are near Las Mercedes for example, it will take you at least 2 hrs. if you try to pass after 8am. so you better woke up early... I have heard that all people that works downtown go up around 4 am to catch their jobs around 8.If you are going to catch a flight in Maiquetia you need to go from Caracas at least 3 hrs in advance if you go after 3pm., you will allways have the option to go through the Barrios but you need an experienced driver that knows the area.

Regular Bus Service in Venezuela

by atufft

All major cities and large towns have a central bus terminal, although Caracas has more than one. Bus service in Venezuela is remarkably cheap due to having the world's lowest petrol prices. In contrast, renting a car in Venezuela is NOT cheap, due to the high risk of theft and accident--high insurance surcharges that aren't covered by your credit card. So, take the bus and meet someone along the way. Most destinations in Venezuela can be reached from Caracas with 12 to 24 hours, and so often a good time to catch a bus is at night. Before buying the ticket, go out to the loading dock, if security personnel permit it, and inspect the buses for apparent maintenance and comfort. Like any competitive industry, some companies are better than others. Find a clean looking bus for your destination--typically displayed above the windshield. Some have A/C; others depend upon an open window for...

Dugout canoe

Traveling in the Wuakajara of Venezuela. This is the delta of the Orinoco river. This method of travel is very slow. However it is quiet here and there is no rush. I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere, just enjoying the river.

Local transport

by Luchonda

As an addicted lover of automobiles, i looked many times around and noticed that the "upper class" is using expensive 4x4 volume cars like Ford, Mercedes, Toyota and of course - HondaOn the contrary - the "other" class is using mainly Chevies from the sixties.Both consuming a lot of petrol - but who cares, the price of one liter petrol is a fraction ( as one of the biggest suppliers of oil) of what we have to pay - 0.025 eurocent - a record in the book of Guiness

Light Aircraft is the Preferred Mode of Transport

by maryellen50

Due to limited highways once you venture out of Caracas, Venezuel has extremely limited roads to travel around the country. The preferred mode of transportation within the country especially is the more remote areas is light aircraft and boats on the rivers. Buses and hired transportation are too unreliable and undependable necessitating 1-2 hour delays.

Arriving in Venezuela

by Warao

This is the Caracas International airport (CCS) from the air. It is not actually in Caracas, because of all the mountains surrounding the city. This is about the only flat place big enough for large jet airplanes to take off and land with no mountains in the way. There are 2 terminals here. The international terminal and the domestic terminal. There is a short walk between them, and lots of porters to help you with your luggage.

Taxi

by Warao

When I take a taxi, I always have a Venezualan friend ride with me. This is the best way to avoid any problems. Many of the roads have speed bumps on them. This is a very convenient place for the vendors to sell something.
