Maiquetía

Maiquetía is a city located in the Vargas state of Venezuela. It is situated on the northern coast of the country, facing the Caribbean Sea. The city is primarily known as the location of Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS), Venezuela's main international airport. This strategic location makes Maiquetía a crucial gateway for travelers entering and leaving Venezuela.

The city itself is part of the larger La Guaira municipality. Historically, the area has been important for its port and its role in connecting Venezuela to the rest of the world. While the airport is the dominant feature, Maiquetía also has a local population and economic activities related to the transportation hub. The climate is tropical, characterized by warm temperatures and humidity.

Proximity to the capital city of Caracas, located just south of Maiquetía over the coastal mountains, further emphasizes its importance as a point of entry and exit for national and international visitors. The infrastructure in Maiquetía is largely centered around supporting airport operations and related services. The city's development has been closely tied to the growth and evolution of air travel in Venezuela.
