by apple_pip

OK, so we took the cheapest option that we could find, and ended up flying via. Germany, this also ment a bit of hanging around in Germany (luckily not too long as we were delayed flying out of Caracas) but as we were in Venezuela for three weeks, the extra couple of hours didn't really matter. Definately by coach! We travelled everywhere by coach... shop about and look out for people trying to get their busses filled up as they are due to leave shortly... we were very lucky, and the longest we had to wait for a bus was an hour... and this is for cross-country buses not one to round the corner! As always, the more you pay the better the bus, but even the cheaper one's still have air conditioning and decent seats. (try and check them first if you're not sure). If travelling at night for a long time, pay the extra money, it's worth it so you can sleep, but make sure you take warm clothes...

After you arrive to Caracas, go to a tour office and buy the Canaima Package. From Caracas, its a 1 hour flight into southern Venezuela, frontiering with Brazil.All needed transportation in the place are provided.

Fly!

by karenamanda

By taxi, plane or the underground train - everything else is unreliable. Taxi prices need to be agreed before hand. Having a plane ticket doen't mean you will get on the flight! The underground train service in Carracus is excelent and very safe.

With plane !

by Nijntje

With a personal driver. They're cheap and honest. Erskine F. Robertson is a good jeepdriver. He's honest and funny too !!He speaks very well English, 'cause he studied in London. You can also drive with the little local Vans. But...be aware..sometimes they suddenly have a quick stop. :-)

by TravelingBoy

While in Venezuela I decided to take a bus from Caracas to Mérida, for a 13,000 Bs bargain. It's a 12 hour overnight bus ride, which was actually rather interesting. We watched a movie, The Associate, in english with spanish subtitles (they will try to use an english movie if they suspect foreigners are on the bus). They I flew back to Caracas for 60,000 Bs.Once in Mérida, one of the best ways to get around are the por puestos, which are like giant vans that ram the streets picking up passangers for a cheap fare. Remember, in order to get off the bus, you must yell in unison with other passangers, 'pararé' or I will stop.

by Superremi

The best way to travel to Isla Margarita is by airplane. There's a small (big enough) airport in the capital Porlamar.To get around you should hire a car or take a taxi cab. The taxi drivers know all the nice spots of the little island!

by eclark

Flying into Caracas and hiring a car got us down into the heart of Cojedes, proved the most efficient. Caracas at rush hour is like a Grand Prix race, driven by blind lunatics!!!! I have driven where there are bad drivers and worse roads, but Venezuela was the only place I really feared for my safety. On the main highways out of Caracas, the speed limit depends on how far you can push your foot and the accelerator peddle into the floor. Then, you will find huge truck moving at the approximate speed of sludge, creating fascinating obstacles in the path of the stream of speeding lunatics. Somehow it all works, more or less. Once you get there, get out and see things the old fashioned way!!

by Jarne-Anne

The cheapest we found from Europe is flying to Isla Margarita on a holiday package (All inclusive).From there to the mainland (Puerto La Cruz/Cumana) by boat or national flight to any destination. Easy per bus from the Terminal de Pasejeros, connecting all city for cheap fares.If you take a night bus, consider taking a sleeping bag or at least warm clothes, because it is freezing cold (AIRCO!)
