Caracas Airport Road Closure

In Venezuela the highway bridge between CCS airport and Caracas has broken down. Therefore, the trip between airport and city takes now about 3-4 hours. There is the so-called "old road", which is not paved all the way, and a rural road that passes a mountain and makes a big detour (some 80 km), but is more reliable, as there are not too many congestions.

Taxis for this route run about $130, so be aware going into Caracas CCS airport!
