Maracaibo Airport Bus

A bus ride to Maracaibo city centre from La Chinita International Airport takes on average 30 minutes. 

Friendly Tip

Public transportation at Maracaibo is not really efficient nor reliable.

safety advice

Given Venezuela’s crisis we do not recommend passengers to take public transportation to Maracaibo city centre given the lack of security at buses (mugging and pickpocketing are very likely to happen) and tourists are a common target of those crimes. 

Our recommendation is to take a taxi
