There are stories all the time of ligitimate taxi drivers killing, and robbing travellers. When I travel to Caracas I never use a taxi or public tranist fromo the airport due to safety concerns. Officials at the airport are very corrupt and anti-american, so please exercise caution.
I love to promote Venezuela, but this is not a place for a day trip - especially if you have never been and even more so if you do not speak spanish.
