Numerous night buses to Caracas depart at 10.30 pm and 11.00 pm, price: Bsf. 61 for a sleeper (buscama). To get to the old town from the bus station, either use taxi/bus or walk: leave the bus station, turn right in the main street, walk for several minutes until you reach big crossroads with direction plates for 'Centro historico', where you turn left and enter Calle Zamorra (which is already visible on Lonely Planet city plan). It's a relatively short walk.
