Caracas is the capital of Venezuela.
Hitchhiking out
South or West towards Valencia, Maracay, Merida
Take the metro line 3 to "Mercado". Walk to and alongside the highway until you get to a big PDV gas station. Very good spot and easy to access.
Personal experience:
- Believe it or not, in the "super dangerous" city of Caracas I was able to catch rides out of town by walking though the street and tapping on windows. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Just chatting up drivers while they're paralized in Caracas' notorious traffic. Make your self a sign. Piece of cake.
