Car Travel

Heavy traffic, a lack of parking, and the city's baffling layout combine to render Caracas a driving challenge for residents, let alone visitors. If you can avoid it, do not rent a car to explore the city. However, if you're here for a long visit, and you want to explore, driving to the west or east of Caracas can be an incredibly memorable experience. Note, though, that nonadventurous types need not apply!
