Los Teques is easily reached from Caracas. The Metro de Los Teques, an extension of Caracas's Line 3, runs from Plaza Venezuela all the way to Los Teques — the journey takes about 45 minutes and is the most comfortable and reliable option. Por puesto (shared taxis) also run frequently from various points in western Caracas, including from the Caricuao and Las Adjuntas areas.
By car, the main highway from Caracas climbs steeply into the hills; allow at least 45 minutes from central Caracas and considerably longer during peak hours. The road is occasionally subject to rockslides after heavy rain.
