I've had no issues. - May 2015
Surprisingly excellent. - Apr 2015
Good, in general. An omnipresent breeze keeps the car exhaust from ever getting too thick. - Nov 2014
Very good in Caracas. - Sep 2013
Surprisingly moderate considering the amount of traffic and the number of unregulated busses and cars. - Aug 2012
Generally OK, but there are many old cars and buses on the road. Sometimes there are fumes from Avila fires in the dry season. - Mar 2012
excellent - Mar 2011
The air quality is unhealthy-black dust from the pollution coats your floors everyday. - Jan 2011
It seems fine so far, in the rainy season. - Oct 2010
The air quality would likely be considered moderate. There are times of the year where the heat keeps the pollution in the valley (where the city is located) and during the dry season fires cause smoke to hover around the city. - Sep 2010
Usually good. Now it's very bad due to fires on El Avila, which usually happens every 2-3 years. - Mar 2010
Perfect. - Mar 2010
