Going to one city to other.

by ezaguryk

In Venezuela going to one city to other through buses is very common, since it is means of economic transport. The quality of the service can varies for the short routes as for the long trips, from old units and in badly, to comfortable buses of luxury with conditioned air, television and other services used mainly for trips between cities. Several terminals of buses in each city exist, that you can decide between executive basic units or, depending on their budget.Terminal of buses: To the West: located in the LA BANDERA tel: 58-212) 693.51.16.To the East: in the freeway to Guarenas.

Freezing on the night bus

by AndreSTGT

Bus travel in Venezuela is generally fast and comfortable. From ordinary 70s models to ultra-luxurious and expensive "super de-luxe"-buses, there are many choices to get from one place to another.Traveling at night is a good way to save time and accommodation cost. The reclining seats are usually comfortable enough to sleep.Just one thing : when you take a night bus, put on some warm clothes, or even consider using your sleeping bag. I am not exaggerating, these buses tend to get extremely cold during the night.

Local bus

by AGBAT

Stand beside the road and watch for a bus with the name of the next town up the road, in the direction you are headed. Wave you arm and if there is room the bus will stop if there is no room you may have to wait a little longer but another bus will be along shortly. Keep you arms inside and enjoy the ride.

>>> second picture = small chapel of San Rafaele, very photogenic ! found on the road to Merida, approximately 45 km east... <<<We rented a car for most of our trip. It's expensive but roads are good and not so crowded. The perfect solution if you want to stop anywhere.For long distances such as Canaima, we flew with local Avensa airline. Old wreck planes but no crash so far.Long distances 'lujo' (luxurious) buses are recommended also for linking 2 big cities. We did Ciudad Bolivar - Barcelona in one night. Comfortable to sleep and very quick comparing to the kind of road (very winding). The only bad point was that we arrived at 04:00AM in Barcelona bus station, and this place was quite unsafe, especially for women (my girlfriend was terrified and I was quite anxious).

by OrlandoBR

I went in my own car, which is always the best way of seeing any place, in my opinion. But driving in Venezuela is difficult and dangerous.To get to Isla de Margarita one must go to a city called Barcelona, and take the ferryboat from there - I don't advise anyone to go to Margarita without a car, since the island is very big and the good beaches are distant from each other.

by tucha

The best and only way, is by plane. From Europe is a a journey of 7 hours.Venezuel is a very large country, and and roads areant very good.Therefore, the best way to get around Venezuela is by internal flights.It's cheaper than in Europe and faster.If you don't have much money, rent a car (the gasoline is very cheap)..and be carefull with the roads.

by kucha

I can suggest how NOT to travel -- that being on any of the Venezuelan or local airlines. The planes are horrifyingly old, always running late and running into 'small mishaps' with uncanny regularity.

by zzaappedd

Cheapest in all senses is Avensa. If you have to connect to get to Venezuela, try making the connection through Miami. Lacsa and LanChile offer great deals regularly through Miami. Foreign airlines will respond much better to lost baggage and other nuisances. But local airlines are much more flexible; usually not charging extras for things others would.Buses are the way to go. You just have to find them (so ask & ask). Beware of 'piratas' unofficial taxis. Car rental is 2 to 3 times more than in USA or EU + high theft probability. Never park your car on the street if you can.
