Ports and Airport
Puerto La Cruz has several ports from which many destinations, attractions and shopping facilities can be reached. Margarita Island can be reached through the transport service operated by the companies Conferry and Great Chieftain Express (which resumed its activities in December 2006). The beaches located on the islands of Mochima National Park may also be reached from Dairy.
In the area of Guaraguao of Puerto La Cruz, there is also a terminal for the export/import of crude oil processed at the refinery in the city.
As Puerto La Cruz does not have its own airport, it uses for air transportation Generál José Antonio Anzoátegui International Airport located in the nearby city of Barcelona.
