Multiple regions across Venezuela continue to experience disruptions following two powerful earthquakes that struck near the country’s northern coast, resulting in widespread infrastructure impacts across affected areas. Significant challenges have been reported in and around Caracas, La Guaira, Carabobo, Miranda, and Falcon states as emergency assessments continue and aftershocks remain possible. Utility interruptions and localized communication challenges may continue while authorities evaluate structural conditions and restore essential services.
Travelers should anticipate ongoing transportation and mobility delays across northern Venezuela. Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS) in Maiquetía remains closed until further notice due to structural damage, and airport operations may remain limited as inspections continue. Metro and rail services in Caracas have also been suspended, while road access may be affected by debris removal, evaluations, traffic restrictions, and emergency activity. Travelers should expect extended transit times, limited route availability, and evolving transportation conditions in impacted areas.
- Monitor local news for updates & follow all official directives.
- Avoid damaged buildings and check for structural integrity before entering.
- In the event of aftershocks, remain calm and take shelter under sturdy furniture or against an interior wall.
- Plan for transportation delays, as airports and roads may be affected.
