Where can I go if I have to spend the night close to the Airport in Maiquetia?
The last flight to the island leaves at 19.30 with Aeropostal, flight VH 312; if your international flight arrives after 18.30 you will probably have to stay overnight close to the airport for taking the next flight in the morning. It is not necessary to go to Caracas and stay there. The taxi would cost you more or less US$ 20 and hotels in the capital are expensive. The tourist office at the airport can recommend you a hotel close to the airport, or you can go to the Hotel La Parada in Avenida Atlantida, Catia La Mar, or Posada Hidalgo in Macuto, they have rooms available and the prices are reasonable. If you would like we can make a reservation for you. Please take an official taxi, (big black SUVs). It is advisable to change little money (not more than 50 $, only what you will need for the taxi and hotel) so you can pay in national currency.
